Programs to open WBDP file
Remember to download programs supporting WBDP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ANSYS Workbench platform with WBDP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WBDP 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. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 WBDP file with the ANSYS Workbench platform application.
Step 3. Update ANSYS Workbench platform to the latest version
If, however, after binding ANSYS Workbench platform with ANSYS Workbench Project Global there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 WBDP 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 WBDP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WBDP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 WBDP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WBDP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WBDP file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 WBDP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ANSYS Inc., 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 WBDP 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WBDP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
