Is it possible to open Hammer Series-6 seed file in series-5 pc (.wgs),
It is giving warning "Unsupported file type"
Also i would like to know what type of file format is seed file (.wgs)
Hello Raj,
Once the model is saved in the higher version of the software, it’s not possible to open that model directly in the lower version even using seed file option.
As you have saved the model in SS6 of Hammer it cannot be opened back directly in SS5, but you can export that in EPANET format and then import back in SS5 version.
Please see the below related wiki on

Seed file contains all the information from the model file and the database file such as color coding, project options, graph settings, etc., based on an existing model but not the actual elements, you should remove all elements from the existing model, save it under a new name, and make that the basis for a seed file.
Otherwise the new model file created from the seed file will just be a copy of the prior model file.
Please learn more about use of seed files, using the link mentioned below.
