Overview

Spatial relationships between aquatic, land, road, trail, and vegetation units within an area are stored in a *.spatialrelate file. The file is typically exported from a GIS mapping tool and used to create new areas within OpenSIMPPLLE using "Import > Create New Area". Each line in the file contains a relationship between two units and any attributes associated with the relationship. The attributes must appear in a specific order and be delimited by a single comma with no additional spaces. All of the relationships are grouped by type with the BEGIN keyword followed by a space and the unit type.
