How to open WBEX file?
An often recurring problem with ANSYS Workbench Extension Format is that WBEX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file WBEX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WBEX 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. Below is a list of programs that support the file WBEX.
Programs to open WBEX file
Remember to download programs supporting WBEX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ANSYS Workbench platform with WBEX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WBEX file to open in the ANSYS Workbench platform application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WBEX file with the ANSYS Workbench platform program.
Step 3. Update ANSYS Workbench platform to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ANSYS Workbench platform program with the ANSYS Workbench Extension Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the ANSYS Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WBEX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The WBEX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WBEX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WBEX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WBEX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WBEX 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.
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 WBEX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WBEX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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 WBEX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WBEX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WBEX file again. 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.
