Hello everyone, this is my first thread on the forum and I would like to greet you.

I'm working on my Master thesis with the new software SU2 and I need a mesh in .cgns format. I've just found that by compiling gmsh from source code it is possible to enable cans support. The building of gmsh has been successful, but unfortunately when I try to write the mesh in cgns format some errors occur.
I know that cgns support is an experimental tool, nevertheless I would like to ask if someone of you has ever experienced and solved this issue.

To be more precise, I post the commands and the errors:

roberto@roberto-VirtualBox:/media/sf_Condivisione$ gmsh naca.geo -1 -format cgns -o naca.cgns

Thank you in advance!

I know this is from four years ago, but have you found the solution to this error ?? I get the same error using the current version of gmsh

Thanks!
