What is an ICB file?

ICB files mostly belong to ICM-Molsoft. ICB files serve different functions based on their origin. Most often, they are used as ICM Binary Chemical Files that store chemical data in a proprietary binary format. This format, used by ICM-Molsoft, holds detailed molecular information for simulation and analysis purposes.
  • Chemical Data: These files contain structured chemical information. They are primarily handled with specialized chemical viewers from ICM-Molsoft. Visit Molsoft for details.
  • Contract Workflow: Some ICB files are bundled as contract documents. They use ZIP compression to group multiple files and are managed by Ironclad solutions. More information is available at Ironclad.
  • Game Audio: Another use sees ICB files as RIFF-based audio files. These are used in game development, particularly for titles like Icewind Dale, and are processed by Interplay's Composer. For further insights, refer to Modding Wiki.
    • FilExt.com tip: To open and view an ICB file, identify its origin. Use the chemical data viewer if it is an ICM file, a ZIP tool for contract bundles, or an appropriate audio player for RIFF files.

    How do you open ICB files?
