Hi Scot,
First of all thanks for this feedback and links.
I would like to say that the goal is first to store and work on the data
coming from the finite element solver; in my reflexion the
post-processing is another stage and I'm looking at xdmf format for that
purpose (that can call hdf5 file for "heavy" data).
My questioning is on the structure of the hdf5 file that will contain
huge amount of data (mesh and results); in order to be efficient, I'm
wondering where I can find "best pratices", articles or usefull
information's in the litterature.
Regards
Paul
