The amount of data is taxing our resources and what I'm doing probably wouldn't be possible without HDF5, nor easy without PyTables. There may be cases where different sets of load conditions could be in separate files, and yet they would all share the same finite element (FE) model data, ie, geometry, materials, etc. Instead of each file containing it's own Group of FE data, I could just H5Fmount the common geometry from a single file to be shared by any number of results files. Having given this more thought, I can see how I would be able to accomplish this by using an attribute in each results file to store a pathname of the file containing the common data. However, the H5Fmount would be nice because it is transparent and only one file handle would be needed. I welcome your opinion.
