GROMACS (GROningen MAchine for Chemical Simulations) is open-source software for molecular dynamics simulations. An .edi file stores the essential dynamics settings and data required by the relevant GROMACS simulation tools.
The file is commonly created with the GROMACS make_edi tool from essential-dynamics results such as eigenvectors. The resulting file can be supplied to mdrun as an essential dynamics input file.
The format belongs to the GROMACS toolset rather than being a general-purpose data format. GROMACS provides tools for working with essential dynamics input files, including on Microsoft Windows.
An .edi file is intended for use by GROMACS rather than as a document in an office application. Install GROMACS and use its command-line tools, typically supplying the file to mdrun with the -ei option.
On Microsoft Windows, run the GROMACS command from the GROMACS command prompt or from PowerShell, using the simulation files that the essential dynamics input was created for.
The GROMACS .edi file is a simulation input file rather than a document or interchange format, so it is not typically converted to another format.
If the essential-dynamics settings need to be changed, regenerate the file with the GROMACS make_edi tool from the required eigenvectors and related analysis results. The underlying trajectory and analysis files should be retained for this purpose.
