File formats for most of the files native to (determined by) WMS can be accessed from the list below. Files which are used by analysis codes such as HEC-1 are not documented here since they are described in the documentation for the codes.
Most of the files used by WMS have a card type format. With this format, the different components of the file are grouped into logical groups called "cards." The first component of each card is a short name which serves as the identifier. The remaining fields on the line contain the information associated with the card. In some cases, such as lists, a card can use multiple lines.
There are many other files that are non-native to WMS that can be opened. A list of these file types and their default extensions can be found in the WMS Non-native Files help page.
