How to use CGNS file & create...

You're probably better off asking that on a software forum. I don't really know what this software is for (Something to do with databases from what I've just glimpsed) but if you look through there site there seems to be extensive documentation and a users guide. Maybe start there?

What exactly is it you're trying to do?

PS: Title spelling fail. :P

Edit: Nevermind, this seems to be a software forum too! (Just saw Computer and Technology section)

Hi there,

Using a CGNS file is a multi-step process, but I'll try to break it down for you.

1. First, you'll need to download and install a software package that can handle CGNS files. Some popular options are CGNSview, Tecplot, and OpenFOAM.

2. Once you have the software installed, you can open the CGNS file by using the "File" menu or by dragging and dropping the file into the software.

3. Next, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the structure of the CGNS file. It is organized into a hierarchy of nodes and sub-nodes, similar to a tree structure. Each node contains specific information about the geometry, mesh, and solution data.

4. To create a new CGNS file, you can either use a template provided by the software or create a new file from scratch. Make sure to save your file with the .cgns extension.

5. To add data to your CGNS file, you can use the software's interface to input values for each node. This can include things like geometry dimensions, mesh parameters, and solution data.

6. Once you have all the necessary data in your CGNS file, you can save it and use it for further analysis or simulations.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
