The CFD General Notation System
(CGNS) is a set of
standards, together with software implementing those standards, for the
recording of data associated with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
Physical data storage is accomplished via a general database manager,
either ADF (Advanced Data Format) or
HDF (Hierarchical Data Format).
The present document describes the mapping from the
Standard Interface Data Structures
(SIDS) to the file structure provided by the ADF database manager.
A similar document, the SIDS-to-HDF
File Mapping Manual, describes the mapping for the HDF database
manager.
