Purpose of the thorn:

Input and output data using the HDF5 based F5 file format.



An F5 file contains the following hierarchy:

        Bundle
        Slice
        Grid
        Topology
        Representation
        Field

We have a class hierarchy:

        file
        timestep (slice)
        simulation (grid) [grid hierarchy of one patch]
        topology (topology) [one refinement level]
        coordinate_system (representation)
        physical_quantity (field)
        data_region
        tensor_component
