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?

You need a suitable software like ICM-Molsoft to open an ICB file.

ICB file extension format:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Our examination of the ICB files comes to the following conclusion:

ICB is seldom used as a file extension and is used by different programs with different formats. The file formats most commonly found in ICB files are:

• 35% of all ICB files have the same signature 03 C1 1B EA 00. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. The file size is in the range of 16 KB to 7 MB. It is a modern file type. The files contain the following words: IDATx and IHDR. Such files sometimes refer to mistake, project and spot.
• 20% of all ICB files use ZIP compression, so multiple files are compressed and stored together in one ICB file. 1 to 8 compressed files are common. File names inside are always definition.json. If you'd like to see the images and files included, just rename the file extension to .zip and double-click. The files are 2 KB to 1 MB in size, with a median of 65 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: definition.json. Such files sometimes refer to production, sred, agreement, robocizna, contract, materialy, workflow and demo.

All other ICB files (45%) have no consistent format, the following 4 formats exist: RIFF. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your ICB file!
