Old GMS file formats

This pdf file documents file formats used by GMS previous to version 6.5. Current versions of GMS can still read these files.

GMS version 6.5 and up

Starting at version 6.5 the GMS project file switched to a binary HDF5 format. The format is proprietary and not documented but you can examine the contents of the project file using a free HDF5 browser application. Some things in the project file, like TINs and Meshes, follow the XMDF standard. Editing the HDF5 project file can corrupt it and make it unreadable by GMS and is highly discouraged.

Import formats

GMS can import various formats as documented on the File Import Wizard Supported File Formats page.
