The WEA file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the WEA files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the WEA file on each system platform.
What is WEA file?
The WEA file has been categorized as Data Files. It was designed by Autodesk. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files. Ecotect Weather Format is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. You can use Weather Tool in case Ecotect Analysis cannot be used.
How to open WEA file?
The most common problem when using Ecotect Weather Format is that a specific WEA is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WEA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WEA 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 Ecotect Analysis
The first step is to check if the computer has the Ecotect Analysis program installed. To do this, enter the name Ecotect Analysis into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WEA with Ecotect Analysis. Below is a list of programs that support the file WEA.
Programs to open WEA file
Remember to download programs supporting WEA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ecotect Analysis with WEA files
If, despite the installed application, the WEA file does not start in the Ecotect Analysis 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WEA file with the Ecotect Analysis program.
Step 3. Update Ecotect Analysis to the latest version
If, however, after binding Ecotect Analysis with Ecotect Weather Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WEA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The WEA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WEA file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 WEA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WEA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WEA files changes over time. 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 WEA files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WEA 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move WEA to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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. However, some background programs may block the WEA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
