How to open LGW file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LGW 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 ANSYS Workbench platform
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ANSYS Workbench platform is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ANSYS Workbench platform into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file LGW.
Programs to open LGW file
Remember to download programs supporting LGW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ANSYS Workbench platform with LGW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LGW file still does not use the ANSYS Workbench platform program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 LGW file with the ANSYS Workbench platform application.
Step 3. Update ANSYS Workbench platform to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ANSYS Workbench platform program with the ANSYS 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 ANSYS Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LGW 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the LGW file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LGW or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LGW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of LGW 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LGW file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ANSYS Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file LGW 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LGW file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LGW file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
