Step 2. Create association of ANSYS Electronics Desktop with ENGD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ENGD file to open in the ANSYS Electronics Desktop application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ENGD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ENGD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ENGD 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ENGD or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ENGD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ENGD 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ENGD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ENGD 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ENGD 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ENGD file again. 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.
