What is an SM file?
An SM file is a worksheet created by SMath Studio, a mathematical calculation program with a paper-like interface. It may contain mathematical equations, text, graphs, images, and other worksheet elements, allowing users to perform calculations and present their results in a single document. Engineers, scientists, educators, and students commonly use SM files to create calculations, technical reports, and educational materials.
More Information
Users create and edit SM files directly in SMath Studio, which automatically evaluates equations as values change. The program also supports units of measurement, functions, graphs, and formatted text, making it useful for documenting engineering calculations, mathematical models, and scientific analyses.
SM files store both the worksheet's content and its formatting, allowing users to reopen and continue working on their calculations. Since SMath Studio uses SM files as its native worksheet format, users commonly share them for collaboration, documentation, and reference.
How to open an SM file
You can open SM files with SMath Studio on Windows, Linux, or in a supported web browser. The program allows you to view, edit, and evaluate the worksheet's equations, text, graphs, and other content. To open an SM file with SMath Studio on a desktop, select File → Open.
How to convert an SM file
SMath Studio can convert SM files to various file types, including the following formats:
- .PDF - Portable Document Format
- .SMZ - SMath Studio Compressed Document
- .TEX - LaTeX Source Document
- .ODT - OpenDocument Text Document
- .XLSX - Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet
- .JPG - JPEG Image
- .PNG - Portable Network Graphic
- .XMCD - Mathcad Worksheet (requires the Mathcad plugin)
- .EXE - Windows Executable File (standalone SMath Viewer application containing the worksheet)

An SM file may also be a disk space analysis created by Stardock SpaceMonger, a hard drive storage space analyzer. It details how a user is utilizing their hard drive's storage. SM files are XML files, which appear as treemaps and other graphical analyses when opened in SpaceMonger.
More Information
Stardock SpaceMonger allows Windows PC users to map and analyze the files stored on their PC's hard drive. Users can also map and analyze the files stored on a network drive. The analyses that SpaceMonger produces appear in-program as treemaps, bar charts, and pie charts. However, the data SpaceMonger uses to show these analyses is actually XML text.
Users can save the results of their SpaceMonger scans as SM files. These files contain the XML data that SpaceMonger used to show the user's results.
How to open an SM file
You can open an SM file in StarDock SpaceMonger (Windows). You can also open an SM file in any text or source code editor, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code (cross-platform) or GitHub Atom (cross-platform).
