I have taken to building my vectors in XDMF using the following XML:
< ---- BUNCH OF SETUP XML>
<Attribute Type="Vector" Center="Node" Name="force">
<DataItem ItemType="Function" Function="JOIN($0, $1, $2)" Dimensions="4000 3">
<DataItem Name="fx" Format="HDF" DataType="Float" Dimensions="4000">
test.h5:/fx
</DataItem>
<DataItem Name="fy" Format="HDF" DataType="Float" Dimensions="4000">
test.h5:/fy
</DataItem>
<DataItem Name="fz" Format="HDF" DataType="Float" Dimensions="4000">
test.h5:/fz
</DataItem>
</DataItem>
</Attribute>
So, for cartesian tensors, this is the usual (x,y,z) ordering mapped
to (comp0, comp1, comp2)
In the case of both symmetric tensors (Type=Tensor6) and non-symmetric
tensors (Type=Tensor), what ordering should I use? This type of
information is not on the XDMF website and I wasn't able to figure it
out via playing around with visual representation of mock tensors in
PV itself.
Thanks so much.
