STRUDL Input is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is GT STRUDL. This was created by Georgia Tech Research Corporation. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the GTI file.

How to open GTI file?

The main problem with STRUDL Input is that the GTI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that GTI 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 GTI 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 GT STRUDL

In this case, you should first verify that the GT STRUDL application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing GT STRUDL 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 GTI files.

Programs to open GTI file

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

Step 2. Create association of GT STRUDL with GTI files

If, despite the installed application, the GTI file does not start in the GT STRUDL 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 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 select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GTI file with the GT STRUDL application.

Step 3. Update GT STRUDL to the latest version

If, despite the association of the GT STRUDL program with the STRUDL Input file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Georgia Tech Research Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GTI 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to GTI 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GTI file. However, remember that not every infected GTI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GTI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GTI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Georgia Tech Research Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GTI 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the GTI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GTI file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
