How to open CMDB file?
The most common problem when using ANSYS CFX Mesh Database is that a specific CMDB is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CMDB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CMDB file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install ANSYS CFX

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CMDB.

Step 2. Create association of ANSYS CFX with CMDB files
If, despite the installed application, the CMDB file does not start in the ANSYS CFX application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ANSYS CFX application as the default for handling the CMDB file.
Step 3. Update ANSYS CFX to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ANSYS CFX program with the ANSYS CFX Mesh Database file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the ANSYS Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMDB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CMDB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CMDB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CMDB file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CMDB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CMDB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CMDB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ANSYS Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CMDB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CMDB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CMDB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
