Is there any established consensus on the best way to store cell-centered
data (e.g. finite element data) with HDF5? I have a structured mesh, with a
corresponding matrix of values at each mesh center. Are there any
widely-used standards providing guidance on how to apply HDF5 to a problem
like this?
Greg,
I think that a good "starting point" is the HDF5 Mesh API
(http://www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/papers/prototypes/mesh/). You can easily
implement variations of the format proposed there according to your
specific needs.
Best regards,
Claudio

I don't have practical experience with it, just know about it, and I think
it should be able to do just what you want.
Conceptually, this data type is also supported via my F5 library:
But this part is currently not in active use, and not a widely-used
standard, but in development "on demand".

Hi Greg
I don't know of any, but I think that's the good thing about it. You can
adjust your data arrangement based on the access patterns of your readers
and writers.

I think MED is also based on HDF5 but never gave it a deep look
http://www.salome-platform.org/
still I think optimizing for your usecases is the best way to go
