The meeting was called to order at 7:30pm. There were 12 attendees, listed below. In additon, Armen Darian, Ray Cosner, Michel Delanaye and John Chawner indicated that they would not be able to attend the meeting and sent information to the Chair or an alternate.
The minutes of the 11 May 2000 telecon were approved as posted on the Web.
Chris Rumsey has agreed to draft a User's Guide Tutorial for CGNS. This will be drafted and circulated for review, hopefully to be finished by the end of the year.
Steve Legensky volunteered to take the lead on developing an implementation paper, potentially for next summer's conferences. The paper would summarize CGNS implementations in various vendor/supplier codes, and demonstrate communication of data across organizations.
In reviewing the SIDS, we noticed a nomenclature discrepancy
in the definition of 'mut' and 'nut'. We propose
changing the definition of 'ViscosityEddy' to mut,
and adding ViscosityEddyKinematic as the name for
nut. We have not found anyone who objects to changing the
standard in this way, so the SIDS will be changed. Hopefully this
will not cause compatibility issues for anyone.
There was some discussion of developing web based user support,
groups and forums (potentially similar to 'Kiva talk' for
example). Don Roberts agreed to look into how Tecplot handles the
support role. The maintenance of such support could also be the
function of the Support Focal Point, should we be able to find one!
Alpesh Patel provided a draft extension for hierarchical data structures. After some discussion, Alpesh agreed to take the lead on circulating the proposal for comment and revision. Interested parties include: Jamil Appa, Bob Bush, Diane Poirier, Steve Karman. We should also ask Fluent if they would like to comment (Dave Schowalter is a good first contact).
Steve Legensky proposed a way to support hanging nodes. There
was much discussion on the need, and differentiating it from the
hierarchical data structures. This may generalize to how to handle
non-linear elements in CGNS. Steve agreed to have Intelligent
Light look into it further and draft a more formal proposal in the
future.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:30pm.
