What is a HIL file?

HIL files mostly belong to Schneider Electric Ecodial. HIL files are Ecodial report files used in Schneider Electric's Ecodial system.
These files use a ZIP archive format to bundle all the data for a report. This means the file can contain several items such as XML, text, or other components that make up a complete electrical report.
Key details compiled by FilExt.com include:

Format: It is a compressed file formatted as ZIP.

Purpose: It holds detailed report data from Ecodial used in electrical design analysis.

Usage: Commonly found when working with Schneider Electric's Ecodial reports.

FilExt.com note: If you do not have a dedicated viewer, try renaming the file extension from HIL to .zip and open it with a standard ZIP tool to explore its contents.

How to open HIL files

You need a suitable software like Schneider Electric Ecodial to open a HIL file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your HIL file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a HIL file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert HIL files:

Schneider Electric Ecodial
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. HIL files are often referred to as Schneider Electric Ecodial compresseds because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
Hi HelpIndex
By default, Hi HelpIndex uses a built-in English language file. Do not specify a language if you want to use this. To use a different language file you must make the file in the appropriate format, store it on your server and reference it when running Hi HelpIndex.By convention, Hi HelpIndex language files have extension .hil, eg french2.hil.

HIL format details:

To find out what program is needed to open HIL files, you need to determine the file format. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the HIL files is as follows:

The HIL file extension is rarely used and includes different formats for different programs. The two most common formats are as follows:

45% of all HIL files use the ZIP algorithm, i.e. a HIL file contains several compressed files. Most often they are 9 to 9 compressed files. Tip: If you rename the file ending to .zip and then double-click it, you see the included files and images. The files are on average 40 KB in size and range from 25 KB to 79 KB. The keywords FOOTER, ecodial3, Schneider Electric and RTFuRMo are typical for these files. These files can be linked to hall, weimat, tgbt and armoire.
9% of all HIL files use the same file format, which have the signature HILL. These are binary files, so they do not contain words or text. The files are 760 KB to 15 MB in size, with a median of 3 MB. The files contain the following words: HILL. A common filename is 1_1_919.HIL.

All other HIL files (46%) have no consistent format, such as XZIb and gxd. Often described as mitterndorf or bischofshofen. You can get all the details of your HIL file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .hil file to analyze" above.

How to solve problems with HIL files

Associate the HIL file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open compressed report files. Because only the current version supports the latest HIL file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Schneider Electric Ecodial update.
To make sure that your HIL file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
