Inptools is available from epanet.de/inptools .
This manual describes Inptools version 2.0.12.1.
A summary of changes.
Explorer integration for inp2shp. Use the Explorer context menu to generate Shapefiles from INP files.
Several inp2shp bugs were fixed.
First three digits of the version number now match version number of EPANET version included in Windows installer.
EPANET 2.0.0.12 along with the documentation were added to the Windows installer.
The Windows version requires Windows 7 or higher.
Improved Windows explorer integration. Double click on *.net and *.inp files opens them in epanet2w.
New functions have been added to the Windows Explorer context menu: "Create CSV file", "Create binary result file", "Help"
The epanet2csv tool was added.
Linux or Windows (7, 8, 8.1 or higher) are required in order to use the Inptools. .
Inptools 0.2.3 is the last version that supports earlier Windows versions.
How to install Inptools.

Inptools can be used in Windows Explorer or from the commandline.
Inptools adds a context menu to Windows Explorer that can
be activated by right-clicking on *.inp
files.
Windows Explorer Integration
To access Inptools, do the following: Open Windows Explorer.
Navigate to an INP files.
Right-click on the INP file.
Select the Inptools menu.
Choosen → will open the selected INP file in epanet2w for interactive editing.
This option is only available if EPANET is installed.
Choosing → will convert (projects) the selected INP file with Gauß-Krüger coordinates (GK3) into a new INP file with geographic (WGS84) coordinates.
Choosing → will create two CSV files with hydraulic analysis results. One file will contain node results and the other will contain link results. When generating CSV files, make sure that you use different file names for nodes and links.
The inptools package contains several commandline tools.
![[Note]](images/note.png) | Note |
|---|---|
The use of the commandline tools is optional for Windows users. If you are not familiar with commandline interfaces, please stick to the Windows Explorer context menu ( the section called “Windows Explorer Integration” ). |
epanet2csv converts an EPANET binary result file into two CSV files. CSV files can be read by spreadsheet software like OpenOffice Calc or Excel, relational database software like PostgreSQL or MySQL and GIS software.
Binary result files can be created e.g. using epanet2d or epanet2l (the section called “epanet2d”, the section called “epanet2l”).
epanet2d is part of the standard EPANET distribution. It's documented here because it's part of the Windows Inptools package and one option to create a binary result file that can be processed by epanet2csv.
epanet2l is a modified (localized) version of epanet2d that allows to generate report files in German.
The LANG environment variable can be used to determine
in which language the command should operate (E.g. "en" or "de").
Most of the source code is plain C and should compile with virtually any C compiler.
Users on Linux or with a Linux-like build system should be able to use the standard
./configure make make install
in order to build and install.
The epanet2csv command does not have any external depencendies.
The inp2shp command depends on the EPANET toolkit and shapelib libraries. Please add the respective header files to your include path and link against the libraries
The inpproj command depends on the EPANET toolkit and PROJ.4 libraries. Please add the respective header files to your include path and link against the libraries.
The C++ code can be compiled using MinGW.
