Import and export
.00sim project files, takes boxes to WinISD and horns to Hornresp, and brings in WinISD projects, measurements and enclosures from your other workspaces. Drivers have their own files, in the component library.Which file for what#
In this table Export › is the header’s Export menu. Its top half writes files, and the items under its Import heading read them.
| File | Holds | Out | In |
|---|---|---|---|
00sim project, .00sim | A whole design: enclosures, drivers, measurements, graph notes and tiles | Export › 00sim project… | Export › Open 00sim project…, or Import on Workspaces |
WinISD project, .wpr | One box with its driver and filters | Export › WinISD… | Export › WinISD…, or Import on Workspaces |
Hornresp record, .txt | A horn, as native Hornresp records | Export › Hornresp… | Not read |
Driver, .00dvr or WinISD .wdr | One driver | Settings › Drivers… › Export | Settings › Drivers… › Import |
Passive radiator, .00prd | One passive radiator | Settings › Passive radiators… › Export | Settings › Passive radiators… › Import |
Unibox workbook, .xlsx | Enclosures, drivers and passive radiators | Not written | Settings › Drivers… › Import › Unibox (.xlsx) |
Measurement, .txt .frd .zma .csv | One measured trace | Export › Measured trace… | Export › Measured trace… |
00sim project files#
A .00sim file is 00 Simulator’s own format and keeps everything: the enclosures with their drivers and passive radiators, every measured trace and graph note, the radiation space and listening distance, the tiles and their layout, and your units. Use it for backups, to move a design between accounts, or to keep a guest project without signing in.
| To | Do this |
|---|---|
| Save some enclosures | Export › 00sim project… opens Export 00sim project. Untick the enclosures to leave out and press Export for project.00sim. |
| Save a whole workspace | On Workspaces, open a workspace’s ⋯ menu and choose Export .00sim. The file takes the workspace’s name. |
| Keep a guest project | Save beside Guest project opens Save this project, and Download .00sim saves it. |
| Open one in a new workspace | On Workspaces, Import reads a .00sim or .wpr file into a new workspace and opens it. |
| Open one here | Export › Open 00sim project… (marked replaces) swaps the open design for the file’s: enclosures, measurements, notes, tiles, environment and units. |
Drivers in a file that match one you already have, by brand, model and T/S values, are used as they are. Others join your drivers, with “(Imported)” after the name when it is already taken by a different driver.
WinISD#
The WinISD items in the Export menu work with WinISD’s .wpr project files, one box each. The same item name appears twice: under Export it writes files, under Import it reads one.
Export to WinISD#
Export › WinISD… opens Export WinISD project, marked Beta. Tick the enclosures and press Export: you get a .zip with one .wpr file per enclosure. Anything simplified or left out is listed when the download starts.
| In 00 Simulator | In the .wpr |
|---|---|
| Sealed, Vented, Bandpass 4, Bandpass 6 | The same box type |
| Passive radiator loading, and horns | Skipped, with a warning |
| High-pass and low-pass filters | Kept, with the same order and cut-off. An alignment other than Butterworth is not kept, with a warning |
| Parametric EQ and Linkwitz transform | Kept |
| Shelf filters, and filters switched off | Left out |
| A series capacitor | Left out, with a warning: WinISD cannot model one |
Import from WinISD#
- Export › WinISD… under Import reads one
.wprfile and adds its box beside your enclosures, selected. Nothing already there changes. - The new enclosure takes the project’s description as its name, or the file name. Sealed, vented, fourth-order and sixth-order bandpass boxes come in as themselves; any other box type comes in as vented, with a warning.
- High-pass, low-pass, parametric EQ and Linkwitz transform filters come with it. Other filter types are skipped, with a warning.
- The project’s driver comes too, matched to one of yours or added as described above.
For single WinISD drivers, use the .wdr files under Drivers and passive radiators. The WinISD comparison shows how closely the two programs agree on the same boxes.
Hornresp#
Export › Hornresp… opens Export Hornresp projects once the workspace has a horn. Pick the horns and download a .zip of native Hornresp records with import instructions. Hornresp files cannot be opened in 00 Simulator. Hornresp export and validation covers what each horn type becomes and what carries over.
Drivers and passive radiators#
Settings › Drivers… opens the Component library. On your own list of drivers:
- Export opens Export drivers. Choose the format, 00 Audio driver (
.00dvr) or WinISD driver (.wdr, Beta), tick the drivers (your own start ticked) and press Export for one file per driver. - Import › Driver file (.wdr, .00dvr) (Beta) reads both formats, several files at once.
- Import › Unibox (.xlsx) opens Import from Unibox, which brings in the enclosures, drivers and passive radiators in a Unibox workbook.
- Settings › Passive radiators… does the same for passive radiators, in 00 Simulator’s own
.00prdformat only.
Creating, pasting and editing drivers is in Drivers: find, create, import.
Measurements#
Export › Measured trace… under Import reads REW text exports, .frd, .zma and .csv files, several at once. Under Export, Measured trace… lists the workspace’s traces and saves one: impedance as .zma, Max SPL as .csv and the rest as .frd. Measured traces and notes covers importing, aligning and comparing them.
From another workspace#
Signed in, Export › From another workspace… opens Import from workspace. It copies enclosures from one of your other workspaces into this one.
- 1
Find the workspace
Pick it from the list on the left, or type in Search workspaces…. - 2
Tick the enclosures
Its enclosures load on the right, all ticked. Select all and Clear help with long lists. - 3
Import them
The Import button counts the enclosures it will copy. Their boxes, drivers and EQ come across; this workspace keeps its own environment and tiles.
To send enclosures the other way, select them in the enclosure list, right-click, and choose Copy to workspace or Move to workspace.
From a shared link#
A shared design has Files on its bar: Project file (.00sim), WinISD project (.wpr) and Driver records (.wdr). Import puts the whole design in your account or your browser: Open a shared design.
Ask your AI#
Ask your AI
Using 00 Simulator, import the REW measurement I paste below into my open workspace, link it to the enclosure it measures, and compare it with that enclosure’s simulation from 30 to 200 Hz: tell me the level offset and where the two differ most.
