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.
