How to open UEL file?
An often recurring problem with Tekla Structures Custom Components Data Format is that UEL is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open UEL, 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 UEL 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Tekla Structures software is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Tekla Structures software in it.

Programs to open UEL file
Remember to download programs supporting UEL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Tekla Structures software with UEL files
If, despite the installed application, the UEL file does not start in the Tekla Structures software 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the UEL file with the Tekla Structures software application.
Step 3. Update Tekla Structures software to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Tekla Structures software program, it is possible that Tekla Structures Custom Components Data Format requires a newer version of the program. 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 UEL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to UEL 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UEL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected UEL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of UEL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UEL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UEL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the UEL file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UEL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UEL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
