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 CGNS files, one can easily transfer CFD information like mesh and flow solutions between OpenFOAM and many commercial CFD applications (mesh generators, solvers, etc).

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.
