What is a RIC file?

RIC files mostly belong to OpenRocket.

The RIC file is not defined by a single standard. Its content and purpose depend on the software that created it. Below are several common uses:

Rocket Motor Config: Used by OpenRocket to store rocket engine data and RocketCEA parameters for simulation and design.

Robot Animation: Contains data for robot or facial animation. Such files may include keyframe and motion details used in robotics projects.

CAD Drawing: An XML‐based file used by RI-CAD systems to save technical drawings. More details and software access are available on the RI-CAD download page.

Compressed PDF: Stores a PDF document in a compressed format that Adobe Acrobat Reader can open.

ISO 20022 Payment Report: Holds structured XML data for payment status reports used in financial systems.

FilExt.com tip: To open a RIC file, use the software that originally created it. If uncertain, open the file in a text editor to check for XML markers or other clues about its structure.
