DOE File Extension

What is DOE file?

DOE is a file extension commonly associated with Rockwell Arena Model files. Rockwell Automation, Inc. defined the Rockwell Arena Model format standard. Files with DOE extension may be used by programs distributed for Windows platform. Files with DOE extension are categorized as Misc Files files. The Misc Files subset comprises 6033 various file formats. The software recommended for managing DOE files is Arena Simulation Software.

Programs which support DOE file extension

Programs that can handle DOE files are as follows. DOE files can be encountered on all system platforms, including mobile, yet there is no guarantee each will properly support such files.

How to open file with DOE extension?

There can be multiple causes why you have problems with opening DOE files on given system. What is important, all common issues related to files with DOE extension can be resolved by the users themselves. The process is quick and doesn’t involve an IT expert. We have prepared a listing of which will help you resolve your problems with DOE files.

Step 1. Download and install Arena Simulation Software

The most common reason for such problems is the lack of proper applications that supports DOE files installed on the system. The solution to this problem is very simple. Download Arena Simulation Software and install it on your device. The full list of programs grouped by operating systems can be found above. One of the most risk-free method of downloading software is using links provided by official distributors. Visit Arena Simulation Software website and download the installer.

Step 2. Verify the you have the latest version of Arena Simulation Software

If the problems with opening DOE files still occur even after installing Arena Simulation Software, it is possible that you have an outdated version of the software. Check the developer’s website whether a newer version of Arena Simulation Software is available. It may also happen that software creators by updating their applications add compatibility with other, newer file formats. This can be one of the causes why DOE files are not compatible with Arena Simulation Software. All of the file formats that were handled just fine by the previous versions of given program should be also possible to open using Arena Simulation Software.

Step 3. Assign Arena Simulation Software to DOE files

If the issue has not been solved in the previous step, you should associate DOE files with latest version of Arena Simulation Software you have installed on your device. The next step should pose no problems. The procedure is straightforward and largely system-independent

Selecting the first-choice application in Windows

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

Selecting the first-choice application in Mac OS

• Right-click the DOE file and select Information
• Open the Open with section by clicking its name
• Select Arena Simulation Software and click Change for all...
• If you followed the previous steps a message should appear: This change will be applied to all files with DOE extension. Next, click the Continue button to finalize the process.

Step 4. Check the DOE for errors

If you followed the instructions form the previous steps yet the issue is still not solved, you should verify the DOE file in question. Being unable to access the file can be related to various issues.

1. Check the DOE file for viruses or malware

Should it happed that the DOE is infected with a virus, this may be that cause that prevents you from accessing it. It is advised to scan the system for viruses and malware as soon as possible or use an online antivirus scanner. DOE file is infected with malware? Follow the steps suggested by your antivirus software.

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

If the DOE file was sent to you by someone else, ask this person to resend the file to you. During the copy process of the file errors may occurred rendering the file incomplete or corrupted. This could be the source of encountered problems with the file. It could happen the the download process of file with DOE extension was interrupted and the file data is defective. Download the file again from the same source.

3. Ensure that you have appropriate access rights

Sometimes in order to access files user need to have administrative privileges. Switch to an account that has required privileges and try opening the Rockwell Arena Model file again.

4. Check whether your system can handle Arena Simulation Software

If the system is under havy load, it may not be able to handle the program that you use to open files with DOE extension. In this case close the other applications.

5. Verify that your operating system and drivers are up to date

Regularly updated system, drivers, and programs keep your computer secure. This may also prevent problems with Rockwell Arena Model files. It is possible that one of the available system or driver updates may solve the problems with DOE files affecting older versions of given software.
