What is a(n) SLDASM file?

SLDASM (SolidWorks Assembly Format) is a component file format used by Solidworks, a 3D solid modelling CAD application. It consists of multiple parts that work together to create assemblies. An SLDASM file includes anything from 3D models, sketches, features, components, etc. which are then precisely connected together. The operations of the model are simulated in an assembly environment before being finalized and exported as a complete 3D model.

SLDASM files are widely used across a variety of industries for its ability to create complex 3D models of objects quickly and easily. Its compatibility with other CAD applications also offers added convenience to its users. Additionally, SLDASM also supports motion simulation, creating dynamic assembly representations in real time.

How to open SLDASM file?

There can be various causes of problems that can arise when opening opening .SLDASM files. Each problem requires a different approach, but most can be solved by following he instructions below.

Step 1. Install a program that supports SLDASM files

In order to open SLDASM file an appropriate program that supports this file format must be installed on the system. Below is the list of programs that support files with SLDASM extension.

Not all listed applications will be capable of performing all operations on SLDASM files. Some applications may only be capable of opening such file and viewing its contents while the purpose of others may be converting files to other file formats. Therefore you should check beforehand the capabilities of applications in relation to SLDASM files.

Step 2. Associate given software with SLDASM files

A situation can arise where user has an appropriate application supporting SLDASM files installed on their system, but such application is not associated with this type of files. In order to associate given application with SLDASM files user should open a file submenu by right-clicking the file icon and selecting "Open with" option. System will display a list of suggested programs that can be used to open SLDASM files. Select appropriate option and check "Always use selected application to open this kind of files". System will save this information from now on use selected program to open SLDASM files.

When the above-mentioned solutions fail, other options must be pursued. It is possible that the SLDASM file in question is corrupted or damage. The most common causes of file damage are:

  1. File with SLDASM extension is incomplete (for example, file has not been downloaded completely from the internet or not copied properly from source)
  2. File data is corrupted
  3. Damaged or corrupted storage medium on which the SLDASM file is stored
  4. File icon does not represent the original file but is only a shortcut to the location where the SLDASM file was saved and then deleted
  5. User account is not privileged to perform operations on SLDASM files. In that case it is advised to contact the system administrator or an IT expert
