About CLM files

The .CLM file extension is a fragmented format used across multiple different industries. Most commonly, it stores climate data for simulation software like EnergyPlus and TRNSYS. In the medical field, it represents EDI 837 healthcare claim files based on the ANSI ASC X12 standard. Additionally, it functions as a custom level map in Unity-based games like Creativerse, or as a Community Land Model data file in GIS applications like ArcGIS Pro. The main disadvantage of the .CLM format is its lack of standardization. Because multiple programs use the exact same extension for completely different types of data, your operating system will often fail to open it. Standard converters cannot process a .CLM file without knowing its exact origin. If the file is a proprietary game map or a complex climate model, you usually need an expensive or highly specialized tool to view the data. Healthcare .CLM files contain strict, encoded billing segments that are difficult to read without a dedicated EDI parser. Users typically want to convert data-based .CLM files to CSV, XML, or TXT to analyze the raw text or import it into a spreadsheet. However, this file format is difficult to open or convert reliably online. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. Our platform inspects the internal structure of the file to show text or embedded content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your CLM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted EPW, DDY, STAT, ZIP, TXT, WEA and ESO files.

The CLM Converter Story

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 CLM converter.
