In this article, we look at how we can annotate our code so it can be picked up by a documentation tool to provide automatic code documentation for us. There are good and bad ways to do this, and unfortunately, more often than not, code documentation is a dreaded task by programmers and is done …

In this article, we extend our knowledge on how to integrate gtest into our mesh reading library using the CGNS data format for structured and unstructured grids that we developed in a previous series. We will rewrite the unit tests that we have already written using our own primitive testing framework and highlight how gtest …

In our final article of this series, we will take our project and turn it into a library. This means that we have to create new build scripts that can compile our library code as either a static or a dynamic library. This is what we will focus on in the first half of this …
In this article, we continue developing our CGNS mesh reader library and implement the unstructured mesh reading class to complement our structured mesh reading class developed in the previous article. There are a few similarities between reading a structured and unstructured grid, and where that is the case, I will go through the code a …

In this article, we extend the work we have done in the previous article, where we have set up the basic library structure of our mesh reading library and started to provide an initial implementation of the base class. Specifically, we add a class that can read a multi-block structured mesh from a CGNS file. …

In this article, we will look at implementing a base class from which we will derive all future mesh reading classes (for structured and unstructured grids). This implementation will already contain some functionality to interact with the CGNS file and read some basic information, so we will get a feel for how to work with …

Reading a mesh from a CGNS file is pretty straightforward, but it helps to have some tools at hand to inspect CGNS files before we even start opening them, just to get a feeling for what type of information is stored and under which nodes. In this way, we know what mid-level library functions to …

The CGNS file format is one of the most powerful file formats there is when it comes to CFD applications and the first one each CFD developer should study in depth. It can store both structured and unstructured grids and the corresponding flow solution and has additional support to store information pertinent to your CFD …
