ACC

File Layout--(.acc)

This is also known as the Account-Based Load File. The Billing Load Wizard will request this file so that
it can import billing load information.

The account based load file can be fixed-width or comma-delimited. The file may have any extension,
but must be an ASCII file.

See the ACC Standard Fields table for a breakdown of the ACC fields.

Notes

This file is usually created by the Billing computer at the utility.

This is a suggested format and can be modified to your specific needs with the following exceptions:
there must be a billing reference code defined for each account or record. This code is the link from EA
to billing. The element name in WindMil should be named using this code.

ASM

File Layouts--(.asm)

See the ASM Standard Fields table for a breakdown of the ASM fields.

Notes

This is a comma-delimited file. The first line of the file contains a comma-separated list of field names.

The Assembly GUID is a unique ID for this assembly. For instance, if there are 3 million 35-5 assemblies
in the world, this GUID identifies exactly one of them. When you want to represent an assembly that is a
part of another assembly, you will use the Assembly Parent GUID field.

CLD

File Layouts--(.cld)

This file provides a mechanism for archiving the calculated load on a model. It contains only kVA and
consumer data. See the CLD Standard Fields table for a breakdown of the .cld fields.

DXF

File Layouts--(.dxf)

WindMil allows you to export an AutoCAD-compatible .dxf file containing an image of your circuit
model.

WindMil adds information to the drawing by separating WindMil entities onto their own layers. Some
entities correspond to elements (like the Device), some correspond to an attribute (like the Load Control
Point), and some correspond to elements with a particular attribute (like the Fuse, which is a Device with
Fuse equipment).

Also, each layer has a predefined AutoCAD color, which is listed in the rightmost column.

See the DXF Layer Fields table for a breakdown of the .dxf layer fields.

Notes

The Load Control Point file contains all information necessary for performing Load Allocation downline.

All load control points must be defined as Overcurrent devices. Sources or Nodes in the .std file or the
existing model.

All records in the file are comma-delimited, not fixed.

LCP.txt File

There are three types of information that the LCP file can contain, and the file can be a mix of these three
types. Each line in the comma-delimited file is as follows:

Phase Amps

LCP Name,2,APh Amps,APh PF,BPh Amps,BPh PF, CPh Amps, CPh PF,Swing

Phase kW

LCP Name,3,APh kW,APh PF,APh kvar,BPh kW,BPh PF,BPh kvar,CPh kW,CPh PF,CPh
kvar,Swing

Total kW

LCP Name,1,kW,PF,kvar,Swing

Notes

1. A check is made to be sure the section with the LCP Name can be an LCP.

2. If the LCP is not a 3-Phase element, all missing phases should have zeros where data is needed
above.

3. If the value in the “Swing” position is “0”, then the LCP does not swing. Any other value will set
the LCP to swing.

4. Where PF and kvar are both allowed, kvar is given preference. Only if the kvar field is 0.0 will the
PF field be used in those cases.

5. If any value other than 2 or 3 is used in the second field, Total kW is assumed.

MPT

SEC

Section Load File Layout (.sec)

The section load file was once used to provide input for load allocation. Now, this functionality has been
replaced by the Billing Load Wizard.

If you need further information on the layout of this file, please contact Milsoft.

SEQ

Equipment File Layout (.seq)

The equipment file is used to export data from an equipment database. It can also be used to create or
modify an existing equipment database.

When exporting Switchgear Templates (SGTs) from the EQDB, a line for each SGT is written to
the .seq file.

See the SEQ Standard Fields table for a breakdown of the base .seq fields or each of the element-
specific field sections for field tables based on each element.

All records in the Standard WM ASCII Equipment File are comma-delimited.

If a field does not require a value, it can be left blank, and the default value will be applied, but remember
that you must still include a comma to terminate the empty field.

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

A carriage return/line feed (CR/LF) must be placed at the end of each record.

An optional header can be placed in the first record of the file to identify the file format and version and
should resemble the following:

Associate Assemblies with Elements Utility

If a .seq file contains assembly equipment with values in fields 4 or 5 (the assembly type or associated
element type), a utility will be run automatically after the import finishes which will attempt to associate
assemblies with the appropriate circuit elements (if they haven't already been associated). The utility will
look at each unassociated assembly in the circuit model; if that assembly has an Associated Element Type
defined, the utility will look for a circuit element of that type at the same location. If it finds one
matching element of the correct type, it will associate it with the assembly. If it finds no matching
elements or more than one matching element at that location, it will log an import warning. For consumer
elements, the utility will also use the Assembly Type field to allow it to properly associate Traffic Lights,
Security Lights, and Street Lights.

Notes

All records in the file are comma-delimited. Each record should end with a carriage return/line feed
(CR/LF) combination.

If the field does not have a value, you must still include a comma to terminate the field.

The first record will be a comma-delimited header that identifies the file format, number of load groups,
and optional load group names.

# Type Description Example


1 A File Format Description MILSOFT SLD ASCII
2 A File Contents LOAD

4 SI Number of Load Groups 4
5 A Load Group 1 Name Residential
6 A Load Group 2 Name Group Two
7 A Load Group 3 Name Group Three
8 A Load Group 4 Name Group Four

The default Load Group name for each Group is Load Group n where n is the load group number.

Each of the remaining records will describe the load information for every load-bearing element. For a
given element, a record will exist for each load group, if there is load. That is, if there are 4 load groups,
there will be up to 4 records for each element.

Tip: The file format description must be MILSOFT STD ASCII or MILSOFT STD WM ASCII, or you will
not be able to apply the SLD. Also, each line must end in a Carriage Return/Line Feed. If WindMil tells
you the SLD file is corrupt, you should check to be sure this last newline isn't missing. Load group names
may not be longer than 20 characters.

Notes

All records in the Standard WM ASCII Section File are comma-delimited.

If a field does not require a value, you may omit it but you must enter a comma to skip the field.

You must include the first three fields for each element.

You must place a carriage return/line feed (CR/LF) at the end of each record.

You can place an optional header in the first record of the file to identify the file format and version. An
STD export from WindMil will have a header record that looks something like:

MILSOFT STD WM ASCII,002,8.6.4.0.6d814926 : <Model Name> Exported on 11/16/2016

Field 2 in this header record will be incremented each time Milsoft releases a change to the STD file
format. The version number was kept at 001 until version 8.6.5, at which time it was changed to 002.
From now on, we will increment the number after every STD file format change. A file with no header is
assumed to be the latest version.

Field 3 in this header record contains the product version number of the software that produced the
export.

The name of the exported model will be in angle brackets after the colon.

Each of the remaining records will describe the data for a single element. Only one record per element is
allowed.

WindMil does not currently export the consumer element type described below. Instead it exports
consumers as node elements and when importing consumer nodes it converts them to consumer elements.

However, WindMil is able to import the consumer element type. The new consumer types come in with
New Import Type X as their type where X is the number that they are in the list of types. You can edit

SWG

Switchgear File Layout (.SWG)

The SWG file is used for importing and exporting Switchgear elements to and from WindMil. An SWG
file is a comma-separated file with one Switchgear element on each line. Each Switchgear is modeled as a
set of cabinets connected to each other by system buses.

The first eight comma-separated fields on each line are present for every Switchgear. Fields 7 and 8
indicate how many cabinets and system buses the Switchgear has.

Switchgear General Fields

S8 SI System Bus Count X

Cabinet Fields

After the general Switchgear Element fields are written, the following fields are written for each cabinet
in the Switchgear, one entire cabinet at a time.

A cabinet is an abstract entity that has an internal bus, an external bus, and a cabinet element. The cabinet
element is a WindMil circuit element that represents the “contents” of the cabinet. A cabinet element may
be a switch, an overcurrent device, a line element, or it may be left empty.The external bus is always a
line element that projects “out” of the Switchgear and may be fed by other circuit elements. The internal
bus is always a line element that connects the cabinet element to one of the system buses; it will never be
connected to any non-Switchgear elements.

The following set of fields begins at field 9 and is repeated once for every cabinet. So, for a Switchgear
with 4 cabinets, this block of fields would be repeated four times (in fields 9-40).

Field Type Description Mandatory? Details


C1 SI Cabinet Number X
C2 SI Cabinet Type X 0=Empty, 1=Bus, 2=Switch, 3=OC Device
C3 A Internal Bus Name
C4 G Internal Bus GUID
C5 A External Bus Name
C6 G External Bus GUID
C7 A Cabinet Element Name
C8 G Cabinet Element GUID

System Bus Fields

After the cabinet fields are written, the following fields are written for each Underground line in the
Switchgear not associated with an internal or external bus. These are called the System Buses.

A system bus is a line element that connects the internal buses of the cabinets. For a box Switchgear,
there should be (n/2)-1 system buses (where n is the number of cabinets) because each pair of cabinets is
connected to the next adjacent pair of cabinets. For an inline Switchgear, there should be n-1 system
buses.

The final set of fields begins after the last cabinet field and is repeated once for every system bus. So, for
a box Switchgear with eight cabinets, this block of fields would be repeated n/2-1 times (3 times).

A unique name identifying the load-bearing element to which the billing load data is associated.

This name should match a name of an element in the model. Otherwise, this data will be discarded.
X and Y Coordinates

The geographical coordinate of the element. For a element with length, it is the coordinate of the load end
of the element.

The coordinates of the source side are the same as the load side coordinates of the prior element. If no
prior element exists, the element will appear as length zero on the screen and will have to be resolved
later.

For elements with no length, the coordinates should be the same as the prior element's coordinates.

Is Center Tap

The behavior of a field in the .std file has changed. The “Center Tap” field in the .std file is no longer a
true/false value. It is an integer that specifies which WM phases are center tapped. For two phase
transformers, any nonzero value will describe a transformer that center tapped on the transformer's
phases. For a three-phase transformer, "0," “1”, “2”, and “3” describe a non-center tapped, an AB tapped,
a BC tapped, and a CA tapped transformer, respectively.

WindMil will now export values of "0," “1”, “2”, and “3” in the center tap field for all transformers. As
described above, these values indicate which phases are center tapped.
LDC Line Drop Compensation

These two values are the R and X settings from the regulator.

Transformer Voltage

These fields are the rated nominal input and output voltages of the transformer.

The output voltage will define the nominal voltage for all system downline from the transformer.

Off nominal taps can be defined by using the input voltage.

You should set the input voltage to that voltage which results in the specified output voltage.

Input and output voltages values are in kV.

Input voltage values are stored L G (Wye connected).

Output voltage is L G.

If the import file does not specify a rated input voltage for a transformer and the option in Circuit
Element Defaults called 'Default rated input voltage to base kV of parent element' is set, we will default
the rated input voltage of the transformer to the voltage of the upline element. If a default input voltage is
specified in Circuit Element Defaults, we will use that voltage and not emit an import warning.
Transformer Winding Code

Specifies the winding connection configuration.

Form definitions correspond to definitions in Electrical Transmission and Distribution Reference Book,
Table 7.

The following rules apply:

1. Delta windings are not allowed on Wye 1 phase sections.

2. Open Y D requires APCNF. See the APCNF Source Side Configuration section.

See the code notes below for additional rules.
