How to open PSMODEL file?
An often recurring problem with Delcam Powershape is that PSMODEL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PSMODEL 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 PSMODEL 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 PowerSHAPE
The first step is to check if the computer has the PowerSHAPE program installed. To do this, enter the name PowerSHAPE into the 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 PSMODEL files.
Programs to open PSMODEL file
Remember to download programs supporting PSMODEL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PowerSHAPE with PSMODEL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PSMODEL file to open in the PowerSHAPE application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PowerSHAPE application as the default for handling the PSMODEL file.
Step 3. Update PowerSHAPE to the latest version
If, however, after binding PowerSHAPE with Delcam Powershape 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 Delcam plc website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSMODEL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PSMODEL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PSMODEL file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PSMODEL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PSMODEL file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PSMODEL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Delcam plc help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSMODEL 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move PSMODEL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PSMODEL file again. However, some background programs may block the PSMODEL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
