HYPERSIM Project Structure

File Extension/Folder NameDescription

.ecf

The .ecf file is the model design in a binary format.

.ecf.lock

The .ecf.lock appears when the model design in already opened. 

.svt

The .svt file extension stands for ScopeView Template: similar to the .xml format.

.csv

or .sig and .iop

Both .csv and .sig files gather all selected sensors of your design.

The .sig format is a binary format that contains sensor information. It is complemented by a .iop file that contains the Data Logger and the I/O Interface configurations. Use the HYPERSIM ribbon to save the sig file. The matching .iop file will also be generated.

Since HYPERSIM 2021.1, the sensors can be exported to CSV format. The sensor configuration is then editable through CSV editors, such as Microsoft Excel®. See Sensor Management for more details.
