v4.5.2
BSD-3-Clause
C/Fortran library for storing and retrieving structured/unstructured CFD simulation data in HDF5 format.
Why you might care
CGNS is the standard format for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data exchange in research and industry. Use it if you're building CFD solvers, post-processors, or data conversion tools that need to interoperate with other CFD codes. It provides a unified data model for grids, solutions, and boundary conditions across different simulation platforms.
