Convert a file to UDB

To convert other file formats to the "Material Property Database" file type, you need software like Autodesk Moldflow or a similar tool.


About UDB files

The .udb extension is shared by two distinct but widely used enterprise formats, creating significant confusion for users.

1. Autodesk Moldflow Material Database:
Most commonly (approx. 55%), a .udb file contains proprietary material properties (resin data, shrinkage models) used by Autodesk Moldflow. These files are binary and locked; you cannot simply open them in Excel to view material specs. Engineers often need to convert these to XML or CSV to share material data with non-CAD users or import them into other simulation tools like ANSYS.

2. SAP Sybase UltraLite Database:
Alternatively, your file may be a relational database used by SAP SQL Anywhere (UltraLite) for embedded mobile applications. These require specific SQL drivers to open. Users frequently need to extract this data to SQL dumps, SQLite, or Excel spreadsheets for analysis, but standard database viewers often fail to recognize the format structure without the correct dbisql utility.

3. Legacy Formats:
Less frequently, .udb files are generated by ComponentAce Absolute Database (a Delphi component) or Rockwell Automation UltraWare (servo drive parameters).

Convert.Guru analyzes your UDB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted UDF, JPG, TSX, CRDOWNLOAD, MF1, ACAD and FBX files.

The UDB 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 UDB converter.
