MECH5: MEChanical H5

This package provides utilities to manage H5 datasets for collating data from various types of mechanical characterisation methods.

Architecture

The package is structured as follows:

• manager.py: Contains classes for managing access (read/write/query) to generic H5 files. Subclasses are tailored for specific datasets.
• interface.py: Includes classes to convert spreadsheet files into H5 files, whether generic or specific. The module also include classes to convert datasets in H5 files into VTK for visualisation purposes.
• view.py: Collates some utilities to plot datasets in H5 files, e.g., histograms, and scatter plots.

Features

MECH5 currently supports:

• I/O for generic H5 files.
• I/O for computed tomography (CT) H5 files.
• Conversion from spreadsheets into the above files.
