[Gmsh] Status of Face BC for CGNS exportation

[Koen Hillewaert]

Hi Bruno,

For unstructured meshes, the current version has been extended to read 
high order cgns meshes and to reconstruct topological
information (cad classification, periodicity). The block-structured 
meshes can also be read, and even be converted
to high order by coarsening.

I am currently working on a proposal for the generalisation of the high 
order cgns format and the cad classification within
cgns, so I did not yet extend the export routines.

Best,

Koen

I was wondering if there were any planned updates in increasing the support for CGNS format? Some interesting open source software (like SU2, even though the SU2 format is supported by gmsh) use the CGNS file format and it is quite a portable / interesting /compact mesh format from our experience. Best regards.
