CHG is a container format file used by MONOMAKH-SAPR, a software package for analysis & design of reinforced concrete multi-storey buildings with arbitrary configuration in plan.
CHG is a simple container, which bundles several project files together.
Written and tested by Vladimir Shulzhitskiy, 2017
This page hosts a formal specification of .chg file format of MONOMAKH-SAPR using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for C# generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the C# runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The C# runtime library is available in the NuGet Gallery. Installation instructions can also be found there.
Parse a local file and get structure in memory:
var data = MonomakhSaprChg.FromFile("path/to/local/file.chg");
Or parse structure from a byte array:
byte[] someArray = new byte[] { ... };
var data = new MonomakhSaprChg(new KaitaiStream(someArray));
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing properties like:
data.Title // => get title
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
using System.Collections.Generic;
