How to open S4D file?

An often recurring problem with RIAM AVA Motion S4D Data Format is that S4D is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open S4D, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S4D 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 AVA Motion

The first step is to check if the computer has the AVA Motion program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name AVA Motion in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file S4D.

Programs to open S4D file

Remember to download programs supporting S4D files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of AVA Motion with S4D files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the S4D file to open in the AVA Motion 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. 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 AVA Motion application as the default for handling the S4D file.

Step 3. Update AVA Motion to the latest version

If, despite the association of the AVA Motion program with the RIAM AVA Motion S4D Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the S4D file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the S4D 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our S4D file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover S4D files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of S4D file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair S4D file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted S4D 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move S4D 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
