How to open FVP file?

Step 1. Install ANSYS Fluent

Programs to open FVP file

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

Step 2. Create association of ANSYS Fluent with FVP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FVP file to open in the ANSYS Fluent 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FVP file with the ANSYS Fluent application.

Step 3. Update ANSYS Fluent to the latest version

If, however, after binding ANSYS Fluent with FLUENT Path Line 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 ANSYS Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

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

The FVP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FVP 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FVP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FVP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FVP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FVP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ANSYS Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FVP 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FVP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FVP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FVP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
