# YAML Structure Validation (+1)

## YAML Structure Validation


The converter validates:
- File is readable YAML
- Contains OrcaFlex-specific sections (General, Environment, etc.)
- File size is reasonable (> 100 bytes)
- No corruption during conversion

## Round-Trip Validation


```python
def validate_round_trip(original_dat: Path):
    """Validate .dat → .yml → .dat conversion."""
    import OrcFxAPI

    # Convert to YAML
    yml_file = original_dat.with_suffix('.yml')
    model1 = OrcFxAPI.Model(str(original_dat))
    model1.SaveData(str(yml_file))
