How to open WBPZ file?

An often recurring problem with ANSYS Update Package is that WBPZ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file WBPZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WBPZ 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 DesignModeler

In this case, you should first verify that the ANSYS DesignModeler application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ANSYS DesignModeler in it. 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 WBPZ.

Programs to open WBPZ file

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

Step 2. Create association of ANSYS DesignModeler with WBPZ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WBPZ file still does not use the ANSYS DesignModeler program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 WBPZ file with the ANSYS DesignModeler application.

Step 3. Update ANSYS DesignModeler to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ANSYS DesignModeler program, it is possible that ANSYS Update Package requires a newer version of the program.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 WBPZ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to WBPZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WBPZ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WBPZ 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 WBPZ files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WBPZ file corruption. 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.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WBPZ 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 WBPZ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WBPZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WBPZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
