Click the "Select File" button above, and choose your FIS file.
You’ll see a preview, if available.
Click the "Convert file to..." button to extract text information.
Convert FIS to another file type
To convert FIS fuzzy systems to another format, you need MATLAB or other Data software.
Convert a file to FIS
To convert other file formats to the "Inference System Data" file type, you need software like MATLAB or a similar tool.
About FIS files
The .FIS file stores parameters for a Fuzzy Inference System. It contains input and output variables, membership functions, and fuzzy rules. It is created and opened with the MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox by MathWorks. The format is tightly coupled with the MATLAB ecosystem. A MATLAB license is expensive and requires a massive software installation. You cannot easily run or simulate the fuzzy logic rules outside of MATLAB or Simulink without converting the data. Standard web browsers and data analysis tools cannot interpret the .FIS rule structure. The best conversion targets are .TXT or .CSV for extracting rule matrices, or exporting to C or C++ code using MATLAB Coder for standalone execution. The file uses a specialized structure tailored for proprietary MathWorks engines. Standard online converters fail because they do not contain fuzzy logic parsers. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FIS file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert FIS file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use MATLAB or similar software from the "Fuzzy Logic System Configuration" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to FIS, try MATLAB or another comparable tool in the "Fuzzy Logic System Configuration" category.
The FIS 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 FIS converter.
