These files are distributed as a service to help CGNS users test their own implementations. They are submitted by users "as is" and are not certified by anyone except the sender to be CGNS compliant

If you have any questions about these data files, please contact the person listed in the table. The CGNS Committee is not able to provide technical support for the data files listed on this webpage. 

Please send any CGNS data files (along with a graphic file if possible) or the URL of the datafiles which you would like to share with the CGNS users community to: cgnstalk@lists.nasa.gov.
 

Most of the files on this page are very old and hence are ADF type. However, a few have been converted to HDF5, as noted (using cgns_type.f tool on Utilities Page).
