All about WGS Files
The WGS file type is primarily associated with Kruss ADVANCE.
What is a WGS file
WGS files mostly belong to Kruss ADVANCE. The WGS file can represent two distinct types of data, and its purpose depends on the origin of the file.
For most cases, it is used as a droplet data file in scientific measurements. These files store data from experiments that measure surface tension, captured by instruments such as a Drop Shape Analyzer. The data is processed by software like Kruss ADVANCE to analyze droplet shape and properties for research or quality control.
In other cases, a WGS file may serve as a word processing or CAD document. Here the file is packaged with a ZIP-based internal format and might contain text or drawing data. Such files are often associated with Microsoft Word and can include elements typical of CAD drawings, linked to products like MicroStation TriForma. You would open these with a word processor or CAD program, for example via Microsoft Word.
Tips when handling these files:Check the source or origin to decide which application is suitable. If the file comes from a lab instrument, use dedicated droplet analysis software. If the content appears document-like, try opening it with a word processor or CAD tool.

WGS file format details:
Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the WGS files:
The WGS file extension is not common and covers different formats for different programs. The following file formats are most commonly found in WGS files:
- 40% of all WGS files have the same signature Drop. These files are not plain text files, so they also contain binary data. WGS files can be up to 1 KB in size, but are often around 66 bytes - 340 bytes. The file type was created recently. The keywords Volume, Angle, Base, Drop and Height are typical for these files. These files are attributed to tektura, epoxy, ldpe, bottom, droplet, neat, lpde, oonepoxy, trial and base.
- 15% of all WGS files are based on the zip format, multiple files are compressed and combined into one WGS file. Most often they are 2 to 2 compressed files. A little tip: If you rename the file extension to .zip and then double-click, you will see the included files and images. The files are on average 180 KB in size and range from 18 KB to 1 MB. The file name _LEGEND.WGS is characteristic of these files. Such WGS files store data about legend.
All other WGS files (45%) have no consistent format, the following 5 formats exist: Thief: Deadly Shadows save game and .NET. These files sometimes refer to stlk.
