Simread3

The main CONTAM result file, the sim file, is a binary file. In general, binary files are significantly smaller and faster to work with than text files but must be translated by specialty programs in order for their contents to be human readable.

SimRead3 is a utility provided to enable you to create ascii files from the sim generated by CONTAM 2.4. It enables you to select which information you want to obtain from the sim file and export to tab-delimitted files that can then be easily imported into a spreadsheet program for further analysis.

Version 3.0 provides the same capabilities as version 2.0 with the added ability to work with the new sim file format that is generated by CONTAM 2.4. The sim file has been modified to handle and increased number of building components. Details are provided in the CONTAM 2.4 documentation.
