CGNS++
Scope
CGNS++ is an object oriented interface to provide access to
CGNS
(CFD General Notation System) databases. More information about CGNS can be obtained from
www.cgns.org.
The CGNS steering committee is aware of this project and may possibly adopt
it as an official CGNS implementation in the future.
The primary goal of the library is to mimic the existing C and FORTRAN interfaces provided
by www.cgns.org in an object oriented manner. Fortunately, the underlying
SIDS
(Standard Interface Data Structures) are already object oriented and
the database nodes therefore map easily to objects in C++.
Included is an object oriented interface to the low-level ADF calls,
which abstracts the ADF C interface in a more C++-ish way. This ADF++
library is self-contained and may be used on its own.
Status
Currently, the main functionality of the most important SIDS nodes is finished,
and completion of the remaining implementation is underway. Development takes
place on a GNU/Linux system, using the GCC C++ 3.0.4 compiler. Portability
is verified on several other machines, namely MIPS, Solaris and PowerPC,
using some version of GCC or the native compiler. A decent C++ implementation
is strictly required.
Documentation
A design document is available here.
A user's guide will follow shortly. The source code is instrumented with
doxygen comments, which results in a high quality
on-line as well as
printable documentation.
Download
The current version (first public available) can be found
here.
The CGNS databases for testing are the examples from the
CGNS website, packed conveniently
here.
Contact
A Sourceforge project
has been installed, where some more information about the history and
statistics may be found. Bug reports, patches and feature or support
requests can be filed there. If you want to contact the
authors, please feel
free to do so.
