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 file converters support:

  • export and import of grid information
    • importing structured and unstructured grid from CGNS format file
    • exporting OpenFOAM grid format to unstructured grid CGNS format
  • export and import of Boundary Conditions, including periodic or cyclic BCs
  • export and import of flow solutions
