Dear Mohamed Said,
Can you tell me which files you are having trouble with? I tested the Cairo.Intl.Airport_ETMY, Aswan.624140_ETMY, and Aswan.624140_IWEC files, and they worked fine with the physical trough model.
Best regards,
Paul.

Hello,
SAM's wind power model requires a weather file in the SRW format. It does not work with EPW or other file formats designed for solar resource data.
For a description of the SRW format, please see the "Weather File Formats" topic under "Weather Data" in SAM's help system.
