What is FRES file?

The file in the FRES format belongs to the Misc Files category. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Autodesk Inventor Results Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The Autodesk Inventor application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Autodesk, Inc..

How to open FRES file?

The main problem with Autodesk Inventor Results Format is that the FRES file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FRES files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FRES 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 Autodesk Inventor

The first step is to check if the computer has the Autodesk Inventor program installed. This can be achieved by typing Autodesk Inventor into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FRES files.

Programs to open FRES file

Remember to download programs supporting FRES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Autodesk Inventor with FRES files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FRES file to open in the Autodesk Inventor 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. 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Autodesk Inventor application as the default for handling the FRES file.

Step 3. Update Autodesk Inventor to the latest version

If, however, after binding Autodesk Inventor with Autodesk Inventor Results Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Autodesk, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRES file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FRES file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FRES file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FRES files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of FRES 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FRES files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FRES files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FRES file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FRES file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FRES to close. However, some background programs may block the FRES file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
