How to open DSDB file?
An often recurring problem with ANSYS CFX Simulation Database is that DSDB is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DSDB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DSDB 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the ANSYS CFX program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ANSYS CFX in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DSDB.
Programs to open DSDB file
Remember to download programs supporting DSDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ANSYS CFX with DSDB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DSDB file to open in the ANSYS CFX application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DSDB file with the ANSYS CFX application.
Step 3. Update ANSYS CFX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ANSYS CFX program, it is possible that ANSYS CFX Simulation Database requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ANSYS Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DSDB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DSDB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DSDB file. However, remember that not every infected DSDB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DSDB file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DSDB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ANSYS Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DSDB files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DSDB file to another location.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DSDB to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
