SWMM5 Exporter

This add-on module for xpstorm (and regular function for xpswmm) will allow you to export an xpswmm or xpstorm model to an EPA SWMM 5.0 model. A file xx.inp will be created where xx = xpswmm file name in the same folder as the xpswmm or xpstorm file.

Users should be aware that an xpswmm or xpstorm model may contain features that the EPA SWMM 5.0 software does not support. In addition, the EPA SWMM calculation engine is different than the xpswmm or xpstorm calculation. Accordingly, it is unreasonable to expect that the EPA SWMM software will yield identical results as xpswmm.

The export tool is accessed by selecting Import/Export Data à Export EPA 5.0 on the File menu.

The name of the file created and the number of objects and tables created are reported, as is demonstrated in the image below:

EPA SWMM 4.4 and 5.0 files may be converter to XPX files using the standalone EPA-SWMM Data File Reader. This program may be accessed via the Tools à Launch Application menu.
