Convert a file to AUR
To convert other file formats to the "Simulation Cache & Settings" file type, you need software like Chaos Phoenix or a similar tool.
About AUR files
The .aur extension refers to three distinct, unrelated proprietary formats, creating significant confusion for users.
Chaos Phoenix FD Cache (Most Common): These are massive volumetric simulation files used by Chaos Phoenix (formerly Phoenix FD) in 3ds Max and Maya. They store complex fluid dynamics data like fire, smoke, and liquid. The Problem: These files are often gigabytes in size and completely locked into the Chaos ecosystem. You cannot open them in Blender, Houdini, or standard video players. The Solution: For cross-platform rendering or archiving, you must convert these .AUR caches to the industry-standard OpenVDB (.VDB) format.
ASUS Aura Sync Profile: These are lighting configuration files created by Aura Creator. Gamers use them to sync RGB lighting effects across motherboards, GPUs, and keyboards. The Friction: Users frequently encounter "corrupted profile" errors when importing .AUR files between different software versions, and they cannot be edited in text editors like XML files.
Aurelon/PrintFactory Graphic: A legacy vector graphic format used in professional sign-making and RIP (Raster Image Processor) workflows by Aurelon (now part of PrintFactory). The Constraint: These are specialized production files that cannot be opened by standard viewers like Adobe Illustrator or web browsers. Converting them to PDF or EPS is essential for client proofing and viewing.

The AUR Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our AUR converter.
