1 Introduction
The CFD General Notation System (CGNS) file converters cgnsToFoam and foamToCGNS allow for the conversion back and forth between OpenFOAM cases and files in CGNS format.
The converters support:
- import and export of grid information
- importing structured and unstructured grid from CGNS format file
- exporting OpenFOAM grid format to unstructured grid CGNS format
- import and export of boundary conditions information, including periodic or cyclic BCs
- import and export of flow solutions
Using CFD information stored in CGNS files, one can easily interoperate OpenFOAM with commercial CFD applications like mesh generators or solvers.

2 Installing the CGNS converters
The CGNS file converters are available from the SourceForge.NET site http://openfoam-extend.wiki.sourceforge.net/ through a Subversion source code repository.
