About:
CGNS (CFD General Notation System) is a standard for storing and retrieving CFD analysis data. It provides a structured, portable format for grid, solution, and geometry information. This enables efficient data exchange and long-term archiving across different CFD software applications.
Key Features:
  • Structured hierarchical data storage
  • Portable across different computer systems
  • Self-describing data format
  • Standardized for CFD applications
Use Cases:
  • Storing and sharing CFD simulation results
  • Long-term archiving of computational fluid dynamics data
  • Interfacing between different CFD codes and analysis tools
Alternatives:
  • VTK – VTK is more focused on visualization, while CGNS is specialized for CFD data storage and exchange
  • NetCDF – NetCDF is a general scientific data format, whereas CGNS is specifically optimized for CFD workflows
