Hello all,
We have a Channel Partner request about how to 'compile' files like the one in this website: https://developer.ansys.com/product/Common-Fluids-Format-/_c_f_f_s_d_k_examples.html#__000areading-a-cff-file-using-c-api . The tool named 'CFF I/O SDK' is mentioned to do that. However, we cannot find any information about it.
Can you please help us finding out how to do this?

Thanks!

    I can't give detailed advice as I am not familiar with using it, but in general terms my understanding of "CFF I/O SDK" is that it is not a compilation tool but a library or set of libraries providing an API for the "Common Fluids Format". You would compile the files such as those in the examples using an appropriate C/C++ compiler (e.g. VS2022 on Windows), and link against the provided CFF libraries. The CFF headers and libraries seem to be available in the commonfiles/fluids area of an Ansys installation.
