To convert other file formats to the "Engineering Data File" file type, you need software like CONTROLSGROUP Software or a similar tool.
About SR3 files
The .SR3 file extension is primarily used for Material Compression Test Data generated by CONTROLSGROUP industrial testing machines. These files store raw stress, strain, and compression metrics from physical material tests. A secondary use is for Reservoir Simulation Results created by Computer Modelling Group (CMG) software, specifically CMG-STARS. In this context, the file utilizes the HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format) standard to store massive datasets of fluid flow and thermal simulations. Additionally, .SR3 files can function as Protection Relay Settings for GE Multilin 350 Series devices from GE Vernova. These formats share major disadvantages: they are highly proprietary, lack native support in standard operating systems, and often require expensive, niche software licenses to open. Sharing raw test or simulation data with stakeholders without the original software is a massive pain point. Users typically need to convert these files into universal data formats like CSV, XML, or TXT for data analysis in tools like Excel or Python. Because these are closed, proprietary formats, standard online converters usually fail to process them. Often, only the original hardware software or CMG exporter can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SR3 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The SR3 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 SR3 converter.
