The process is quick and doesn’t involve an IT expert. The following is a list of guidelines that will help you identify and solve file-related problems.

Step 1. Install Simulink software

The main and most frequent cause precluding users form opening SLMX files is that no program that can handle SLMX files is installed on user’s system. This one is an easy one. Select Simulink or one of the recommended programs (for example, MATLAB) and download it from appropriate source and install on your system.

One of the most risk-free method of downloading software is using links provided by official distributors. Visit Simulink website and download the installer.

Step 2. Verify the you have the latest version of Simulink

You still cannot access SLMX files although Simulink is installed on your system? Make sure that the software is up to date. 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 SLMX files are not compatible with Simulink. The most recent version of Simulink is backward compatible and can handle file formats supported by older versions of the software.

Step 3. Set the default application to open SLMX files to Simulink

After installing Simulink (the most recent version) make sure that it is set as the default application to open SLMX files. The method is quite simple and varies little across operating systems.

• Clicking the SLMX with right mouse button will bring a menu from which you should select the Open with option
• 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 Simulink is installed. Now all that is left is to confirm your choice by selecting Always use this app to open SLMX files and clicking OK.

Selecting the first-choice application in Mac OS

• From the drop-down menu, accessed by clicking the file with SLMX extension, select Information
• Find the Open with option – click the title if its hidden

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 Simulink Traceability Data Format file again.

4. Make sure that the system has sufficient resources to run Simulink

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

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

Up-to-date system and drivers not only makes your computer more secure, but also may solve problems with Simulink Traceability Data Format file. Outdated drivers or software may have caused the inability to use a peripheral device needed to handle SLMX files.
