You should probably write an XDMF file ( http://www.xdmf.org/index.php/Main_Page) that describes the hdf5 file. Like a "text" file or a "binary" file, "hdf5" files can contain anything, so the XDMF file adds a bit of helpful context.
Here is a sample xdmf file that reads in three arrays from a named hdf5 file that define the cell connectivity. coordinates, and one scalar field. The data in this case looks like a rubix cube of 27 hexes. <Xdmf xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude"; Version="2.2"> <Domain> <Grid GridType="Uniform"> <Topology TopologyType="Hexahedron" Dimensions="27"> <DataItem Dimensions="27 8" NumberType="Int" Precision="8" Format="HDF">/Users/demarle/Desktop/rubix.h5:/Data0</DataItem> </Topology> <Geometry GeometryType="XYZ"> <DataItem Dimensions="64 3" NumberType="Float" Precision="4" Format="HDF">/Users/demarle/Desktop/rubix.h5:/Data1</DataItem> </Geometry> <Attribute Name="RTData" Active="1" AttributeType="Scalar" Center="Node"> <DataItem Dimensions="64" NumberType="Float" Precision="4" Format="HDF">/Users/demarle/Desktop/rubix.h5:/Data2</DataItem> </Attribute> </Grid> </Domain> </Xdmf> David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.
