SWMM3,4 Conversion to SWMM 5

Hydrology, Hydraulics and Water Quality for Watersheds

This site contains links and a description of Tools for converting Visual SWMM, XP-SWMM, SWMM 3, 3.5 and 4.x data sets to SWMM 5.


SWMM 3,4 to 5 Converter Interface

The SWMM 3 and SWMM 4 converter can convert up to two files at one time to SWMM 5.  Typically you would convert a Runoff and Transport file to SWMM 5 or a Runoff and Extran File to SWMM 5.  If you have a combination of a SWMM 4 Runoff, Transport and Extran network then you will have to convert it in pieces and copy and past the two data sets together to make one SWMM 5 data set. 

The x,y coordinate file is only necessary if you do not have existing x, y coordinates on the D1 line of the SWMM 4 Extran input data set.


You can use the command File=>Define Ini File to define the location of the ini file.  The ini file will save your conversion project input data files and directories.

Another example of the text file is :

Node     X Coord      Y Coord

30017     455373     2185494
30015     456311     2185167
30010     457590     2184652
30007     457754     2184707
30005     458155     2184688
30003     458335     2184681
30001     458927     2184498
30000     459106     2184486



You can use the command File=>Define Your Text Editor  to define the location of the text editor program.  The ini file will save your conversion project editor name.
