You can use Weibull++, BlockSim in case ALTA cannot be used.

How to open VTC file?

An often recurring problem with ReliaSoft Related is that VTC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VTC 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 VTC 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 ALTA

In this case, you should first verify that the ALTA application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ALTA into the operating 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 VTC.

Programs to open VTC file

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

Step 2. Create association of ALTA with VTC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VTC file to open in the ALTA application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VTC file with the ALTA application.

Step 3. Update ALTA to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ALTA program, it is possible that ReliaSoft Related requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ReliaSoft Corporation website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The VTC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the VTC 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VTC file. However, remember that not every infected VTC 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 VTC files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VTC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ReliaSoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VTC 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 VTC to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VTC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
