Can't open the RE2 file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open RE2 files as well as a list of programs that support RE2 files.

| File Developer |

| File Category |
3D Image Files |
The RE2 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the RE2 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the RE2 file on each system platform.
What is RE2 file?
The file in the RE2 format belongs to the 3D Image Files category. The creator of this file is Argonne National Laboratory. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. NEK5000 Mesh is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Nek5000 to handle this file. This is a program created by Argonne National Laboratory.
How to open RE2 file?
The main problem with NEK5000 Mesh is that the RE2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that RE2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RE2 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 Nek5000
The first step is to check if the computer has the Nek5000 program installed. To do this, enter the name Nek5000 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 RE2.
Programs to open RE2 file
Remember to download programs supporting RE2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nek5000 with RE2 files
If, despite the installed application, the RE2 file does not start in the Nek5000 application, you must create a file association. 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Nek5000 application as the default for handling the RE2 file.
Step 3. Update Nek5000 to the latest version
If, however, after binding Nek5000 with NEK5000 Mesh there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Argonne National Laboratory page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RE2 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:
The RE2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RE2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RE2 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RE2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RE2 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RE2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Argonne National Laboratory
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RE2 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the RE2 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 RE2 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
