.mpzip File Extension
Developer:
National Instruments Corporation
File type:
Project File
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .mpzip. Files with the file extension .mpzip can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .mpzip files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .mpzip file?
The MPZIP file extension is known as the Multisim Pack File or Multisim Compressed Project File. The MPZIP file format and Multisim Compressed Project were designed by National Instruments Corporation. The Multisim Compressed Project is a packed project archive that uses a CAD program for circuit design and simulation. It contains circuit designs and dependencies in a compressed format. It also allows all project data to be shared or transported to another computer. It is a program designed to help users design circuits, capture schematics and identify errors with circuits. To create a Multisim Pack file in Multisim 11, select “File”, then click on “Projects and Packaging” and select” Pack Project”. To unpack an .mpzip file, select “File” then click “Projects and Packaging” and select” Unpack Project”. A user can also upgrade project by converting all Multisim files to the latest version in a single step. In Multisim 11.0, National Instruments has made it easier to archive and pack a project into a single distributable file. Files in the MPZIP format can be opened with National Instruments Multisim in Microsoft Windows platforms
how to open a .mpzip file?
Launch a .mpzip file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .mpzip file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .mpzip files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .mpzip file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .mpzip file will open the correct application.

applications that open a .mpzip file
National Instruments Multisim
National Instruments Multisim
National Instruments developed Multisim as an industry-standard circuits training and SPICE simulation environment for designing, prototyping, and testing electronic schematic designs. This teaching tool builds expertise in all areas of electronic circuit education through practical application of concepts and methods learned in the classroom. NI Multisim has incorporated the layout software NI Ultiboard into its suite of learning tools. Multisim exports and imports schematics of the printed circuit board into and from Ultiboard, which offers a three-dimensional view of the PCB layout to students before it's exported. Students achieve their learning objectives with PCBs earlier in the process when they combine intuitive analysis and visualization with an electronic circuit simulation. Versions 9.0 and 10.x of Multisim are compatible with Windows XP while newer editions work fine with Windows 7 and Vista. Because it operates in a 3D environment, the software needs an OpenGL-capable graphics card.a word of warning
Be careful not to rename the extension on .mpzip files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .mpzip. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
