THG Home Page HDF5 Mesh API


[ HDF5 Home Page ]

The HDF5 Mesh API (prototype) provides a standard higher-level API for storing and retrieving structured and unstructured "mesh" data typical of applications such as computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, and visualization.

It was designed in collaboration with and implemented by CEI, based on CEI's API for reading and writing mesh data in its EnSight Visualization software.

A gzipped, tar file containing the latest source code, documentation, example data, and example programs using the API, can be found at:
