WindMil File Layouts

This guide defines the data structure used for the different types of files enabling
the import or export of different types of databases.

Section File Layout (.STD)

Usage:

This is a Standard ASCII file for importing or exporting a WindMil

model.

Revision Date 09/15/99

All records in the Standard WM ASCII Section File are delimited, not fixed.

You must place a comma (,) between each field.

If a field does not require a value, use two commas (,,) in place of the field
value. The default value for that field will be used.

The delimiter should not end the last field of any given record.

You must enter the first four mandatory fields of each section on any line.

If the remaining values are to be defaulted, there is no need to add the two
commas (,,) placeholders for every field.
You must place a carriage return/line feed (CR/LF) at the end of each record.
Any data missing after a carriage return/line feed (CR/LF) will be set to its
default value.
The colon (:) comment field will be added at a later date.
You can place an optional header in the first record of the file to identify the
file format and version. The header must resemble the following:
MILSOFT STD WM ASCII,001

A file with no header is assumed to be the latest version.

Each of the remaining records will describe the segment/section data for a
single segment/section.
Only one record per section exists.
There is no specified record length, however, each record must end with a
carriage return/line feed (CR/LF) combination.

The following abbreviations are used to represent the data type used:
A

Alphanumeric String

any combination of characters & digits

SI Short Integer (2 bytes) (-32,768 to 32,767)

L

Long Integer (4 bytes)

Floating Point Real

-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
3.4x10** - 38 to 3.4x10**38

Note A floating point value does not have to be stored with a decimal point, if
not necessary. (Example: 1000.0 can be stored as 1000)

Note

Description

Mandatory Field This field is required. A comma (,) cannot be used in

place of the required value, as it will cause a fatal error.

3P

For all 3-phase fields marked with this comment:

If all values on all existing phases are identical, you only need to put the
value in one of the fields. The two commas (,,) must still be placed in the
file as a placeholder for these fields.
For 3-phase equipment, (regulators, conductors, and line sections):
Use the value NONE if the field does not actually have a value and at least
one of the 3-phase fields has a value.

Example
For an overcurrent device:
The following creates a 3-phase section with all devices set to 5-H OCR
OCR-1,10,7,ROOT,,,,,5-H OCR,,
OCR-1,10,7,ROOT,,,,,5-H OCR
OCR-1,10,7,ROOT,,,,,5-H OCR
OCR-1,10,7,ROOT,,,,,5-H OCR
The following creates a 3-phase section with device on Phases A and B set to
5-H OCR and Phase C having no device, (very unlikely case).
OCR-1,10,7,ROOT,,,,,5-H OCR,,NONE
The following creates a 3-phase section with phases having no devices. (Not
recommended, as it can later cause problems.)
OCR-1,10,7,ROOT

Description

Map Number This alphanumeric string specifies the map location of

the load end of the section. This field can be up to 20 characters in
length.

X and Y Coordinates The geographical coordinate of the section.

For a section with length, it is the coordinate of the load end of the
section. The coordinates of the source side are the same as the load
side coordinates of the prior section. If no prior segment/section exists,
the section will appear of length zero on the screen and will have to be
resolved later. For segments/sections with no length, the coordinates
should be the same as the prior section's coordinates.

Preferred Section Name Used only by mapping systems for

model reduction. Applicable to all segment types except Overhead and
Underground Lines. If non-null, this identifier supersedes the section
number. The default is NULL and the alphanumeric string may be up
to 15 characters in length.

Conductor Description An up to 20-character string that will be

compared to the conductor labels stored in the MILSOFT Equipment
Database: Eqdb. If the field is non-null, an exact match is searched for
in the Equipment Tables. If no match is found, a Conductor is added to
the equipment database with default values and a warning is generated.
The default is NULL. See Note 3P on page 11.

Construction Description An up to 20-character string that will be

compared to the Construction Type labels stored in the MILSOFT
Equipment Database: Eqdb. If the field is non-null, an exact match is
searched for in the Equipment Tables. If no match is found, a

should be set to that voltage which results in the specified output
voltage. Input and output voltages values are in kV.

Note

Description
Input voltage values are stored L-G (Wye connected) unless the
winding code is tranForm_A_6 or tranForm_A_7 and then values are
stored L-L (Delta connected). The default is 0 for both fields.
Output voltage is L-G unless winding code is tranForm_A_5,
tranForm_A_5ug, tranForm_A_5open of tranForm_A_7.
