How to open DSIM file?
The most common problem when using Digital Simulator is that a specific DSIM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DSIM 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 DSIM 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 Digital Simulator
In this case, you should first verify that the Digital Simulator application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Digital Simulator into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DSIM with Digital Simulator. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DSIM files.
Programs to open DSIM file
Remember to download programs supporting DSIM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Digital Simulator with DSIM files
If, despite the installed application, the DSIM file does not start in the Digital Simulator 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DSIM file with the Digital Simulator application.
Step 3. Update Digital Simulator to the latest version
If, however, after binding Digital Simulator with Digital Simulator there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Andreas Herz page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DSIM 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DSIM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DSIM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DSIM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DSIM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DSIM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Andreas Herz, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DSIM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DSIM to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DSIM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
