The MS12 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MS12 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MS12 file on each system platform.
What is MS12 file?
The file in the MS12 format belongs to the 3D Image Files category. In addition to this file, the 3D Image Files category includes 622 related files. NI Multisim12 Circuit Design Format is supported by 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 NI Multisim. This was created by National Instruments Corporation.
How to open MS12 file?
The most common problem when using NI Multisim12 Circuit Design Format is that a specific MS12 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MS12 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 MS12 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 NI Multisim
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that NI Multisim is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing NI Multisim into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file MS12.
Programs to open MS12 file
Remember to download programs supporting MS12 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NI Multisim with MS12 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MS12 file still does not use the NI Multisim program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 MS12 file with the NI Multisim application.
Step 3. Update NI Multisim to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NI Multisim program, it is possible that NI Multisim12 Circuit Design Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the National Instruments Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MS12 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MS12 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MS12 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MS12 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MS12 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MS12 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MS12 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MS12 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MS12 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MS12 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
