How to open MFR file?
The most common problem when using Autodesk Moldflow Result is that a specific MFR is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MFR 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 MFR 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 Moldflow Communicator
The first step is to check if the computer has the Moldflow Communicator program installed. This can be achieved by typing Moldflow Communicator into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MFR files.
Programs to open MFR file
Remember to download programs supporting MFR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Moldflow Communicator with MFR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MFR file still does not use the Moldflow Communicator program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MFR file with the Moldflow Communicator program.
Step 3. Update Moldflow Communicator to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Moldflow Communicator program with the Autodesk Moldflow Result 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 Autodesk, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MFR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MFR 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. 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 MFR file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MFR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MFR file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MFR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Autodesk, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MFR files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. Copying the MFR file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MFR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
