HDF5 Composite CAE Format#
This python package provides documentation as well as python tools to work with the HDF5 Composite CAE format. The specification of the format can be found here HDF5 Composite CAE Specification.
To use the validation capabilities and access the example files, the python package needs to be installed with:
# Create virtual environment and activate it
python -m venv .venv
.venv/Scripts/activate.bat # Linux: source .venv/bin/activate
# Install package
pip install ansys-hdf5-composite-cae
This installs a command line tool validate_composite_cae_h5 which can be used to check if a given h5 file conforms to the specification.
validate_composite_cae_h5 my_h5_file.h5
The package comes with a number of example h5 files. The following command shows the location of the example files in your installation:
show_composite_cae_h5_examples
Move to the shown location to inspect and use the example files.
