What is PSTT file?
The file in the PSTT format belongs to the Misc Files category. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. STAR-CD Transient Results Data Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. 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 STAR-CD. This was created by Siemens AG.
How to open PSTT file?
The most common problem when using STAR-CD Transient Results Data Format is that a specific PSTT is not associated with the program. This causes the file PSTT 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 PSTT 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 STAR-CD
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that STAR-CD is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name STAR-CD into the 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 PSTT.
Programs to open PSTT file
Remember to download programs supporting PSTT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of STAR-CD with PSTT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PSTT file to open in the STAR-CD 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the STAR-CD application as the default for handling the PSTT file.
Step 3. Update STAR-CD to the latest version
If, despite the association of the STAR-CD program with the STAR-CD Transient Results Data Format 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 Siemens AG website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSTT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The PSTT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PSTT file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 PSTT file. Sometimes virus-infected PSTT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PSTT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 PSTT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSTT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the PSTT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PSTT 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PSTT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
