The Computational Fluid Dynamics General Notation System (CGNS) provides a general, portable, and extensible standard for the storage and retrieval of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysisdata. It consists of a collection of conventions, and free and open software implementing those conventions. It is self-descriptive, machine-independent, well-documented, and administered by an international steering committee. Enable base scoped families or connectivities Enable or disable building legacy code (3.0 compatible) Enable scoping of enumeration values A number of utility programs: cgnscheck, cgnscompress, cgnsdiff, cgnslist, cgnsnames, cgnsupdate, cgnsconvert, adf2hdf, hdf2adf. sci@gentoo.org Gentoo Science Project CGNS/CGNS cgns
