OCC File Extension

What is OCC file?

Full format name of files that use OCC extension is Oceanic DataPool Format. Oceanic DataPool Format format was developed by Oceanic Consulting Corporation. OCC files are supported by software applications available for devices running Windows. OCC file belongs to the Data Files category just like 1326 other filename extensions listed in our database. MATLAB is by far the most used program for working with OCC files. On the official website of MathWorks, Inc. developer not only will you find detailed information about theMATLAB software, but also about OCC and other supported file formats.

Programs which support OCC file extension

Below is a table that list programs that support OCC files. Files with OCC extension, just like any other file formats, can be found on any operating system. The files in question may be transferred to other devices, be it mobile or stationary, yet not all systems may be capable of properly handling such files.

How to open file with OCC extension?

There can be multiple causes why you have problems with opening OCC files on given system. On the bright side, the most encountered issues pertaining to Oceanic DataPool Format files aren’t complex. In most cases they can be addressed swiftly and effectively without assistance from a specialist. The following is a list of guidelines that will help you identify and solve file-related problems.

Step 1. Download and install MATLAB

Problems with opening and working with OCC files are most probably having to do with no proper software compatible with OCC files being present on your machine. To address this issue, go to the MATLAB developer website, download the tool, and install it. It is that easy On the top of the page a list that contains all programs grouped based on operating systems supported can be found. If you want to download MATLAB installer in the most secured manner, we suggest you visit MathWorks, Inc. website and download from their official repositories.

Step 2. Check the version of MATLAB and update if needed

If you already have MATLAB installed on your systems and OCC files are still not opened properly, check if you have the latest version of the software. Sometimes software developers introduce new formats in place of that already supports along with newer versions of their applications. This can be one of the causes why OCC files are not compatible with MATLAB. The latest version of MATLAB should support all file formats that where compatible with older versions of the software.

Step 3. Set the default application to open OCC files to MATLAB

After installing MATLAB (the most recent version) make sure that it is set as the default application to open OCC files. The process of associating file formats with default application may differ in details depending on platform, but the basic procedure is very similar.

Selecting the first-choice application in Windows

• Choose the Open with entry from the file menu accessed by right-mouse clicking on the OCC file
• Select Choose another app → More apps
• The last step is to select Look for another app on this PC option supply the directory path to the folder where MATLAB is installed. Now all that is left is to confirm your choice by selecting Always use this app to open OCC files and clicking OK.

Selecting the first-choice application in Mac OS

• By clicking right mouse button on the selected OCC file open the file menu and choose Information
• Find the Open with option – click the title if its hidden
• Select MATLAB and click Change for all...
• If you followed the previous steps a message should appear: This change will be applied to all files with OCC extension. Next, click the Continue button to finalize the process.

Step 4. Ensure that the OCC file is complete and free of errors

Should the problem still occur after following steps 1-3, check if the OCC file is valid. Being unable to access the file can be related to various issues.

1. Verify that the OCC in question is not infected with a computer virus

If the file is infected, the malware that resides in the OCC file hinders attempts to open it. Immediately scan the file using an antivirus tool or scan the whole system to ensure the whole system is safe. If the scanner detected that the OCC file is unsafe, proceed as instructed by the antivirus program to neutralize the threat.

2. Ensure the file with OCC extension is complete and error-free

If you obtained the problematic OCC file from a third party, ask them to supply you with another copy. The file might have been copied erroneously and the data lost integrity, which precludes from accessing the file. When downloading the file with OCC extension from the internet an error may occurred resulting in incomplete file. Try downloading the file again.

3. Verify whether your account has administrative rights

Sometimes in order to access files user need to have administrative privileges. Log in using an administrative account and see If this solves the problem.

4. Check whether your system can handle MATLAB

If the systems has insufficient resources to open OCC files, try closing all currently running applications and try again.

5. Ensure that you have the latest drivers and system updates and patches installed

Latest versions of programs and drivers may help you solve problems with Oceanic DataPool Format files and ensure security of your device and operating system. Outdated drivers or software may have caused the inability to use a peripheral device needed to handle OCC files.
