Multisim is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is NI Multisim.

How to open EDP file?
The most common problem when using Multisim is that a specific EDP is not associated with the program. This causes the file EDP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EDP 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 NI Multisim
In this case, you should first verify that the NI Multisim application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name NI Multisim in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EDP with NI Multisim. Below you will find a list of applications that support EDP files.
Programs to open EDP file
Remember to download programs supporting EDP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NI Multisim with EDP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EDP file still does not use the NI Multisim program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 EDP file with the NI Multisim application.
Step 3. Update NI Multisim to the latest version
If, however, after binding NI Multisim with Multisim there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the National Instruments Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EDP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the EDP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EDP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EDP 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 EDP file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EDP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use National Instruments Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EDP 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 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. It is best to move EDP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EDP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
