Convert WTG to another file type
To convert WTG files to another format, you need Bentley WaterGEMS or other Data software.
Convert a file to WTG
To convert other file formats to the "Simulation Model Data" file type, you need software like Bentley WaterGEMS or a similar tool.
About WTG files
The .WTG file primarily functions as a Water Network Model file generated by Bentley WaterGEMS. It contains structured XML data representing physical nodes, pipes, pumps, and hydraulic properties for municipal water supply simulations. Secondary uses include Wind Turbine Generator files used by EMD WindPRO or WAsP to define turbine power curves, and weather data for the DSSAT Cropping System Model.
The main disadvantage of the .WTG format is its strict dependency on proprietary software. Opening a WaterGEMS or WindPRO model requires expensive commercial licenses that cost thousands of dollars per year. Furthermore, simulation files are prone to versioning conflicts - a .WTG saved in a 2024 build often throws fatal errors in a 2020 legacy version due to updated XML schemas. The raw XML structure can also become massive (frequently exceeding 100MB for large cities), making manual parsing via text editors slow and prone to crashing.
To share this data with non-engineers or extract specific parameters, you need to convert it. For broad data extraction and analysis, convert .WTG to XML or CSV to read the hydraulic or wind parameters in Microsoft Excel. For archiving structural reports, convert to PDF.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WTG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert WTG file to , you can use Bentley WaterGEMS or similar software from the "Hydraulic Network Simulation Model" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to WTG, try Bentley WaterGEMS or another comparable tool in the "Hydraulic Network Simulation Model" category.
The WTG 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 WTG converter.
