How to open SCJOURNAL file?

The main problem with ANSYS Workbench Data Format is that the SCJOURNAL file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SCJOURNAL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SCJOURNAL 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 ANSYS Workbench platform

The first step is to check if the computer has the ANSYS Workbench platform program installed. This can be achieved by typing ANSYS Workbench platform into the operating system search engine. 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 SCJOURNAL files.

Programs to open SCJOURNAL file

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

Step 2. Create association of ANSYS Workbench platform with SCJOURNAL files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SCJOURNAL file still does not use the ANSYS Workbench platform program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 ANSYS Workbench platform application as the default for handling the SCJOURNAL file.

Step 3. Update ANSYS Workbench platform to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ANSYS Workbench platform program, it is possible that ANSYS Workbench Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ANSYS Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SCJOURNAL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SCJOURNAL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SCJOURNAL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SCJOURNAL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SCJOURNAL file corruption. 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 SCJOURNAL 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 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 SCJOURNAL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SCJOURNAL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SCJOURNAL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SCJOURNAL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
