Opening a DOE File

The DOE file type is primarily associated with AnyLogic.

DOE	File extension: DOE
	File type:	simulation model file

What is a DOE file

DOE files mostly belong to AnyLogic. DOE files are used mainly for simulation models. They store model data using a Microsoft Compound File format, which acts as a container for several data streams.
These files often hold an Arena simulation model; the compound file design lets different parts of the simulation—such as parameters, settings, and logic—be stored in one file.

Primary use: Contains simulation model data in a Microsoft Compound container.

Alternate use: In a few cases, DOE files use a ZIP archive to hold content that follows the DITA Open Exchange standard for technical documentation.

For additional insights on simulation models, visit AnyLogic.
FilExt.com tip: If you want to view a DOE file, use the native simulation software that created it. For files based on the ZIP container, a standard archive tool can help you examine the internal XML or text content.

How do you open DOE files?

You need a suitable software like AnyLogic to open a DOE file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your DOE file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a DOE file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

DOE file format details:

To find out what program is needed to open DOE files, you need to determine the file format. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Our evaluation of the DOE files is as follows:

The DOE extension is quite commonly used. The file itself is primarily used by a single program. The file formats most commonly found in DOE files are:

• 96% of all DOE files use the Microsoft Compound File format, which is also known by the name OLE2 Compound Document Format or Composite Document File Format. Compound document files work similarly to real file systems. They contain a number of independent data streams (like files in a file system) which are organized in a hierarchy of containers (like sub-directories in a file system). The file signature of compound files is defined as D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1, so the first character of a file looks like "DOCFILE". The app name of DOE files is Arena, Copyright (C) Rock, ArenCopyright (C) or Arena 15Copyright . The unique Windows component object identifier is 26203010-1d20-11d0-b2b5-0020af6d0cad. The internal containers are called Contents, apc, SummaryInformation and DocumentSummaryInformation. The average file size is 440 KB with most files being between 200 KB and 1 MB in size. The file type was developed 20 years ago and is still in use today. Such files are related to model, backup, arena, simulation, project, assignment, problem and exercise.

All other DOE files (4%) have no consistent format. Often described as question, solution, server, ejercicio, emergency, assembly, airport, modelo or cafe. If you want to find out what your DOE file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
