CGNS converters available
 

Hello,

We are pleased to announce that conversion between the CGNS standard format and OpenFOAM is now possible with two new converters that we have contributed to the openfoam-extend Subversion site.

The first one, foamToCGNS, will convert an OpenFOAM mesh, boundary conditions and solutions to a CGNS file. The CGNS solutions are always stored at the mesh nodes. The resulting CGNS mesh will be unstructured.

The second converter, cgnsToFoam will take a CGNS mesh (structured or unstructured) and its boundary conditions and will convert them to a valid OpenFoam mesh.

The solution stored in the CGNS file can also be extracted to be used as an initial solution.

Currently, both converters are able to deal only with stationnary flows on a fixed mesh.

The converters also depend on a set of libraries that both need to be installed and compiled as well.

The first one is cgnslib_2.5, a recent version of cgnslib from http://www.cgns.org/.

The second one is libcgnsoo_3.0, a C++ wrapper around cgnslib_2.5.

Allwmake files are provided for compiling the libraries and the converters. A set of simple test cases illustrating the use of both converters are also available.

We plan to eventually put some additionnal documentation on the OpenFoam Wiki about these converters. So watch the Sig Turbomachinery section of the Wiki for more information.

For now, the -help option will give you a rough description of the available options.

You might have to adjust the Allwmake and Make/options files for your own installation or for your version of OpenFoam. Please take a quick look at those files before compiling.

Here are the URLs for dowloading the CGNS converters, companion libraries and the test cases using svn.

Hi Martin,
Please let me know how to build CGNS converters.
I tried compile but not succeed.

After linking some files
(pointVolInterpolation.H
pointVolInterpolation.C
pointVolInterpolate.C )
to cgnsToFoam directory, I typed ./Allwnake under TurboMachinery.
I got following message.

Hello Hong,

You need to adjust your file cgnsToFoam/Make/options.

Read the comments at the top of that file.

I guess a proper Readme file would be usefull here as well.

It will be added when I will port the converters to OF 1.5.

Hello,

I'm trying to install the cgnsToFoam converter in OF 1.5. When I compile the utility I get the error message:

cgnsToFoam.C:43:35: error: pointVolInterpolation.H: No such file or directory

It seems like pointVolInterpolation is not longer a part of the OpenFOAM distribution.

Has anybody managed to compile the cgnsToFoam utility for OF 1.5.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello Anders,

Just read a few posts up from this thread. (Or read the header from the file cgnsToFoam/Make/options.)

The compilation will not get much further though. The code still needs some adjustments for compiling with 1.5.

The source code for the CGNS converters for OF 1.5 will be posted on openfoam-extend under the Breeder_1.5 branch asap.

Martin

Hello Martin,

Thanks for your information about the work with porting the CGNS converter to OF 1.5. You guys in the turbomachinery group are doing a good job!

I'm a new user of OpenFOAM, I'm now in the process of trying it out. We have until now used our own in-house gridgenerator and solver. I'm now very curious in comparing results using OpenFOAM with our own solver. In that process I need the cgnsToFoam converter for converting the grids created using our gridgenerator.

I would be very grateful if you could just e-mail me a OF 1.4 executable of the cgnsToFoam. That would help me a lot :-) .

If you would like the e-mail me the executable, my address is: anders@cfdnorway.no

Thanks in advance.

Hello Anders,

cgnsToFoam and foamToCGNS compile without any problem with OF 1.4.1-dev and OF 1.4.1.

Have you tried to compile the converters with either versions of OF 1.4.1?

Martin

Hi Martin, No, I'm a new us
 

Hi Martin,

No, I'm a new user of OF and have only installed OF 1.5, I was hoping that I did not have to install older versions. But I can do that if that is the best way of getting the converter.

Hi Anders

> No, I'm a new user of OF and have only installed OF 1.5, I was hoping that I did not have to install older versions. But I can do that if that is the best way of getting the converter.

Well, if you want to run a binary version of the CGNS converters for OF 1.4.1, you will have to install OF 1.4.1 or 1.4.1-dev anyway because of the runtime dependency of the converters on OF dynamic libraries.

So give it a try, or wait a little bit for the 1.5 version of the converters.

Martin

Hello, The CGNS converters
 

Hello,

The CGNS converters are now available for OpenFOAM 1.5

Here are the svn URLs for dowloading from openfoam-extend the CGNS converters, the companion libraries and the test cases.

Thanks a lot Martin!
Actually I downloaded the 1.4.1 version of OF this weekend and managed to compile and run the cgnsToFoam converter. But this makes use of OF much easier. I will try to download and install it this evening.

Is there any constraints on the cgns file, mesh or boundary name which i shuold respect ? Or is it an another problem ?

Thank you in advance

Hello Eric, The warnings ab
 

Hello Eric,

The warnings about the "Cell type" is for the non-3D cell types present in your CGNS file:
triangles (TRI_3)
rectangle (QUAD_4)
line segments (BAR_2)
points (NODE)

As of now, the cgnsToFoam converter only supports the following type of 3D cells for unstructured mesh:
tetrahedron (TETRA_4)
pyramids (PYRA_5)
prisms (PENTA_6)
hexahedron (HEXA_8)

It looks like your unstructured mesh has a lot of 2D elements (triangles and rectangles).

The current implementation of cgnsToFoam will not reconstruct 3D cells from a bunch of 2D faces. This 3D topology information is normally known from your CGNS generator, so you need to find a way to export your mesh as 3D cells (tets, hexs, pyramids or prisms) and not as 2D faces.

Is your unstructured mesh exported in CGNS as a bunch of 2D faces, or do you have 3D cells in your mesh as well?

As for the following type of message:
"FOAM Warning : BC "exhaust" : patch defined by a unsupported PointSetType_t - skipped.",

It looks like some, if not all, of your boundary conditions are defined in your CGNS file as something other than a point list, or a point range.

Which software did you use for generating your CGNS file?

Is it possible for you to share this CGNS file?

We have developped the CGNS converters based on the outputs generated by the commercial softwares we are using for our CFD simulations and mesh modelling.

During that process, we have discovered that the CGNS "standard" can be implemented differently from vendor to vendor, so your CGNS file might be yet another implementation that we need to make some adjustments for.

Martin

Hello Martin, thank you ver
 

Hello Martin,

thank you very much for your detailed answer.
The meshes i'm trying to convert contain 3D cells as 2D cells, for the boundaries. Actually, i can see the geometry made of 3D cells which are well converted. The problem i have is that i lose the bidimensional boundaries where i will have to impose conditions in order to run an OpenFOAM simulation. Typically, it creates one "defaultWall" in place of my boundary surfaces.
I don't understand how you define boundary conditions if you export only 3D elements. Do you recreate the boundaries surfaces after the conversion?

Generally, the CGNS files we have have been generated by different software. In this case, i think they have been generated with IcemCFD. I don't know which commercial software you are using.

Thank you again.

Eric

Hello Eric, Since you do ge
 

Hello Eric,

Since you do get all the 3D cells out of the conversion, the real problem here seems to be related to the BC information that is stored in the CGNS file and defined by an "unsupported PointSetType_t".

The best way for me to help you if to either get hold of your CGNS file, or for you to reproduce the problem using another CGNS file that you could share.

Hi,

i would like to use the cgns converters and i have a question concerning the boundaries condition conversion.
I have a OpenFoam case, i convert it to cgns but when using this file with a in-house program, all the boundary conditions are set to NULL.
Reconverting this cgns file to OpenFoam case, i have other boundary conditions, which do not correspond to the initial OpenFoam case. For example, the folowing initial conditions

boundaryname1
{
type wall;
nFaces 788;
startFace 20078407;
}
boundaryname2
{
type wall;
nFaces 10217;
startFace 20079195;
}


become, after foamToCGNS and then cgnsToFoam,

boundaryname1
{
type patch;
physicalType empty;
nFaces 788;
startFace 20087646;
}
boundaryname2
{
type patch;
physicalType inlet;
nFaces 10217;
startFace 20088434;

Walls have been changed in empty and inlet conditions. Are there specifications to avoid such problems?

Hello Bastien,

Can you see the BC information in the CGNS file using a third-party software like adfviewer from the cgnsTools?

One possible explanation is that your in-house program cannot handle unstructured mesh.

As for the conversion back to OpenFOAM, have you tried doing this back and forth conversion without going through your in-house software?

Can you share your CGNS file and/or your OpenFOAM case?

Hello Hamdi.

Well, it looks like cgnsToFoam is not available, meaning that the compilation of cgnsToFoam failed somehow.

Would you mind sending me the complete output generated when trying to compile cgnsToFoam?

Email is fine.

Hello Hamdi,

>>> cgnsToFoam.C:43:35: error: pointVolInterpolation.H: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type

You need to adjust the file cgnsToFoam/Make/options when compiling for OpenFOAM 1.4.1.

The necessary adjustment is documented in the file cgnsToFoam/Make/options.

I have just made some modification to section "2.4 Compiling the CGNS converters" on the Wiki page so this information will be easier to find for now on.

Sorry about that one.

My mistake, pushd and popd are not available for /bin/sh under Ubuntu.

The fix is now available on openfoam-extend.

Just do a "svn update" of your local copy of the TurboMachinery Breeder project.

some ideas will be welcome.

Hello Martin!
I returned on debian to install the CGNSFOAM converter, I done what you told me there are a few days (I typed "svn update") but I always receive the following message when I compile the libraries of the converter (if I made mistakes that because I have'nt a great experience in lunix):

Hi, Martin
Thanks for repply

Yes I already installed tcl/tk, in debian and ubuntu by: "apt-get install " command, but, I still have the errors, I think I should do modifications in Allwmake file! I don't know!
I have not had this pb in redhat (centos).

Thanks.
