How to open file with SSDF extension?

Being unable to open files with SSDF extension can be have various origins. Fortunately, most common problems with SSDF files can be solved without in-depth IT knowledge, and most importantly, in a matter of minutes. We have prepared a listing of which will help you resolve your problems with SSDF files.

Step 1. Get the MATLAB

The main and most frequent cause precluding users form opening SSDF files is that no program that can handle SSDF files is installed on user’s system. The most obvious solution is to download and install MATLAB or one to the listed programs: Python. 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 MATLAB website and download the installer.

Step 2. Update MATLAB to the latest version

You still cannot access SSDF files although MATLAB is installed on your system? Make sure that the software is up to date. Software developers may implement support for more modern file formats in updated versions of their products. If you have an older version of MATLAB installed, it may not support SSDF format. 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 SSDF files to MATLAB

After installing MATLAB (the most recent version) make sure that it is set as the default application to open SSDF files. The next step should pose no problems. The procedure is straightforward and largely system-independent

The procedure to change the default program in Windows

• Right-click the SSDF file and choose Open with option
• Select Choose another app → More apps
• Finally select Look for another app on this PC, point to the folder where MATLAB is installed, check the Always use this app to open SSDF files box and conform your selection by clicking OK button

The procedure to change the default program in Mac OS

• From the drop-down menu, accessed by clicking the file with SSDF extension, select Information
• Open the Open with section by clicking its name
• Select the appropriate software and save your settings by clicking Change all
• A message window should appear informing that This change will be applied to all files with SSDF extension. By clicking Continue you confirm your selection.

The file might have been copied erroneously and the data lost integrity, which precludes from accessing the file. It could happen the the download process of file with SSDF 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

There is a possibility that the file in question can only be accessed by users with sufficient system privileges. Log in using an administrative account and see If this solves the problem.

4. Check whether your system can handle MATLAB

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

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

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