Convert Simulation and icon files (RIC) online for free
The converter easily converts your RIC Icon files to various formats - free and online. No OpenRocket or or other Data software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Simulation & Hardware Config" file type, you need software like OpenRocket or a similar tool.
A .RIC file primarily acts as a configuration or data container used across vastly different technical fields. Depending on its origin, it functions as a rocket motor simulation file for amateur rocketry, a proprietary robot icon image for LEGO Mindstorms, or an XML-based CAD process flow diagram for RI-CAD software.
For rocketry data, you can open these files using OpenRocket or openMotor. If your file is a robot graphic, it requires the legacy LEGO Mindstorms EV3 desktop software to view the animation or icon natively.
Because the .RIC extension is highly fragmented, it is notoriously difficult to handle. A .RIC file could be structured as plain text, raw XML, a proprietary binary image, or even a mislabeled PDF. Desktop operating systems cannot natively open them. If you try to share an OpenRocket file with someone who lacks the software, they will encounter an unreadable, unrecognized format. Proprietary image formats like LEGO's also lock your graphic data inside discontinued, unsupported software environments.
To make your data universally accessible, conversion is mandatory. For LEGO EV3 icons, convert to PNG or WebP for modern web use and image sharing. For CAD diagrams or ISO 20022 payment reports, extract the raw data by converting to XML or TXT. If your .RIC is actually a mislabeled document, converting to .PDF/A will restore and preserve its formatting for archiving. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your RIC file.
Users also converted ORK, TTP and PWB files.
If you want to convert RIC file to WEBP, CUR or PSB, you can use OpenRocket or similar software from the "Simulation & Robotics Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to RIC, try OpenRocket or another comparable tool in the "Simulation & Robotics Data" category.
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 RIC converter.
