Extract text from Analysis data files (ANL)
To convert ANL Analysis files to another format, you need Bentley STAAD.Pro or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Analysis Data File" file type, you need software like Bentley STAAD.Pro or a similar tool.
An .anl file is a specialized data file primarily generated as a Structural Analysis output file by Bentley STAAD.Pro, but it is also used for weather forecast analysis by the Global Forecast System (GFS) and sleep study data by SOMNOmedics DOMINO. These files store the resulting mathematical data, logs, and diagnostic parameters from complex computing operations.
Because .anl is a generic extension used for "analysis" across dozens of industries, these files suffer from severe fragmentation. They are heavily proprietary, strictly tied to the software that generated them, and are completely unreadable by standard office software or web browsers. If you receive an engineering .anl file, you usually need a specialized, expensive CAD or engineering license just to view the results. Some variations, like those from MultiExperiment Viewer, are actually compressed ZIP containers, while others are encrypted binaries or plain text arrays. Sharing these files with clients or stakeholders who do not have the native software installed is practically impossible.
To make this data accessible, you must convert it. For raw data review or importing into a spreadsheet, converting to CSV or TXT is highly recommended. For sharing finalized reports with clients or archiving, converting to PDF or .PDF/A is the safest option. Drop your file here to view and convert it securely right in your browser.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ANL file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted STD, UID, GED and SD files.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ANL converter.
