better tecplot output?

Trying to output a tecplot solution. There's no way to separate out the boundary surfaces. ie, wall, inflow, outflow are not zones in my tecplot file. Is there a direct cgns output option?

Please take a look at the surface_flow.dat output file, to see if that works for you - this will contain the information on the boundaries specified by the MARKER_PLOTTING option.

An ad-hoc solution to have the boundaries in separate zones would be to repeatedly run SU2_SOL with config files that have different values in MARKER_PLOTTING and SURFACE_FLOW_FILENAME, making sure to also specify the correct solution files. Those files could then be loaded to a single tecplot layout.
