What is PSCX file?
The PSCX file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Manitoba HVDC Research Centre Inc.. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. PSCAD Power System Simulation Software XML Case is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.
How to open PSCX file?
An often recurring problem with PSCAD Power System Simulation Software XML Case is that PSCX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PSCX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PSCX 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 PSCAD
The first step is to check if the computer has the PSCAD program installed. To do this, enter the name PSCAD into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support PSCX files.
Programs to open PSCX file
Remember to download programs supporting PSCX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PSCAD with PSCX files
If, despite the installed application, the PSCX file does not start in the PSCAD 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 PSCX file with the PSCAD application.
Step 3. Update PSCAD to the latest version
If, however, after binding PSCAD with PSCAD Power System Simulation Software XML Case there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSCX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The PSCX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PSCX file. 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 PSCX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PSCX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PSCX files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PSCX file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PSCX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PSCX file to another location.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PSCX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PSCX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
