cgns¶

The CFD General Notation System (CGNS) provides a general, portable, and extensible standard for the storage and retrieval of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis data.

Usage¶

To make this library available, run the following module command

module load libs/gcc/4.4.7/cgns/3.2.1

This will also load the module files for the prerequisite libraries, Open MPI 1.8.3 and HDF5 1.8.14 with parallel support.

Installing¶

This section is primarily for administrators of the system.

This is a prerequisite for Code Saturne version 4.0.
It was built with gcc 4.4.7, openmpi 1.8.3 and hdf 1.8.14

module load libs/hdf5/gcc/openmpi/1.8.14
tar -xvzf cgnslib_3.2.1.tar.gz
mkdir /usr/local/packages6/libs/gcc/4.4.7/cgnslib
cd /usr/local/packages6/libs/gcc/4.4.7/cgnslib
mkdir 3.2.1
cd 3.2.1
cmake ~/cgnslib_3.2.1/
ccmake .

Configured the following using ccmake

 CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX             /usr/local/packages6/libs/gcc/4.4.7/cgnslib/3.2.1

Once the configuration was complete, I did

make
make install
