How to open S2T file?
The main problem with Scia2Tekla Plugin is that the S2T file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file S2T 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 S2T 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 Tekla Structures software
The first step is to check if the computer has the Tekla Structures software program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Tekla Structures software in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open S2T files.
Programs to open S2T file
Remember to download programs supporting S2T files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Tekla Structures software with S2T files
If, despite the installed application, the S2T file does not start in the Tekla Structures software application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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 Tekla Structures software application as the default for handling the S2T file.
Step 3. Update Tekla Structures software to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Tekla Structures software program with the Scia2Tekla Plugin file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Tekla Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S2T file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The S2T file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the S2T file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file S2T or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover S2T 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 S2T 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged S2T files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted S2T 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. It is best to move S2T to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file S2T to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
