What is MDLP file?

The file with the extension MDLP is the Misc Files file type. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Simulink Protected Model Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Simulink to handle this file. This is a program created by The MathWorks, Inc..

How to open MDLP file?

The main problem with Simulink Protected Model Format is that the MDLP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MDLP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MDLP 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 Simulink

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Simulink is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Simulink 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 MDLP files.

Programs to open MDLP file

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

Step 2. Create association of Simulink with MDLP files

If, despite the installed application, the MDLP file does not start in the Simulink 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MDLP file with the Simulink program.

Step 3. Update Simulink to the latest version

If, however, after binding Simulink with Simulink Protected Model Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the The MathWorks, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MDLP 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MDLP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MDLP file. However, remember that not every infected MDLP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MDLP 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MDLP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MDLP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the MDLP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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 MDLP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MDLP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
