CGNS
The specific purpose of the CFD General Notation System (CGNS) project is to provide a standard for recording and recovering computer data associated with the numerical solution of the equations of fluid dynamics. Read more here....
CGNS/SIDS
The Standard Interface Data Structure is the specification of the data model. This public document describes the syntax and the semantics of all tree-structured data required or proposed for a CFD simulation. Both an HTML and a PDF version are available here.
CGNS/MLL
The Mid-Level Library is an example implementation of CGNS/SIDS on top of CGNS/ADF and CGNS/HDF5 mappings. This library has a C and a Fortran API.
CGNS/ADF
The Advanced Data Format CGNS/SIDS implementation. A binary storage format and its companion library, developped by Boeing.
CGNS/HDF5
The Hierarchical Data Format CGNS/SIDS implementation. A binary storage format and its companion library (see below).
CGNS/Python
The Python programming language CGNS/SIDS implementation. See the SIDS-to-Python page.
CHLone
A CGNS/HDF5 compliant implementation. The CHLone library is available on SourceForge.
HDF5
A powerful storage system for large data. The HDF5 library should be seen as a middleware system with a lot of powerful features related to efficient, portable and trustable storage mean.
numpy
The numerical library for Python. Numpy is used to store the data in Python arrays which have a direct memory mapping to actual C or Fortran memory.
VTK
A visualization toolkit used to display 3D objects ni CGNS.NAV.
