The MOX file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MOX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MOX file on each system platform.
What is MOX file?
The MOX file has been categorized as Data Files. The author of this format is Imagine That. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files. ExtendSim Simulation Software Model appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use ExtendSim to handle this file. This is a program created by Imagine That Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs.
How to open MOX file?
An often recurring problem with ExtendSim Simulation Software Model is that MOX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file MOX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MOX 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 ExtendSim
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ExtendSim is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ExtendSim 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. Below is a list of programs that support the file MOX.
Programs to open MOX file
Remember to download programs supporting MOX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ExtendSim with MOX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MOX file to open in the ExtendSim application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 MOX file with the ExtendSim application.
Step 3. Update ExtendSim to the latest version
If, however, after binding ExtendSim with ExtendSim Simulation Software Model 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 Imagine That Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MOX 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MOX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 MOX file. Sometimes virus-infected MOX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of MOX 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MOX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Imagine That help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MOX 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 MOX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MOX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MOX file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
