What is a VCAX file?

VCAX files mostly belong to Visual Components. Visual Components Robot Simulation File: This VCAX file is used by Visual Components to store data for robot simulation projects. It is built as a ZIP archive that contains simulation models, settings, and configuration files specific to robotics.
  • Internal Format: ZIP archive with project details
  • Usage: Stores robot simulation data
  • Software: Designed to be opened with Visual Components software
  • FilExt.com tip: Because the file is a compressed container, its internal structure can be viewed with standard archive tools, but proper simulation and visualization require Visual Components. For further information, check the Visual Components website.

    How to open VCAX files

    You need a suitable software like Visual Components to open a VCAX 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 VCAX file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VCAX file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

    Programs that open and convert VCAX files:

    1. Visual Components
      See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. VCAX files are often referred to as Visual Components data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
    2. Visual Components Experience (3D animation) by Visual Components
      A VCAX file is a container for a 3D simulation recorded as an animation using Visual Components. After you've designed your layout, you record and export an animation, just as you would record a simulation video. This creates a special (.vcax) file, which you can then experience with a 3rd party mobile and VR applications (Virtual Reality). In order to view .vcax simulation files, you will need to download and install "Visual Components - Experience" software. The Visual Components Experience mobile application works on both iOS and Android devices, and is available for free in the App Store and Google Play, the VR applications require HTC Vive, Steam and SteamVR account. This file format is classified as Video.

    How to solve problems with VCAX files

    • Associate the VCAX file extension with the correct application.
    • Update your software that should actually open robot simulation archives. Because only the current version supports the latest VCAX file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Visual Components update.
    • To make sure that your VCAX file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
