How to open .out files with c++ using HDF5

[David Schriebman]

Hello,

I've manged to install HDF5 and figured out all the manual stuff to get it to work, but I'm having an issue opening the .out file produced by gprMax.

I can open files that are generated with the H5Dcreate2 command, but not files that are created with gprMax

Using the command H5Dopen2, as seen in the HDF5 examples, what should I put in the 'name' field to open a .out file from gprMax? Everything I try throws a 'major:dataset' 'minor:can't open object' error.

Thanks.

Hi David,

I have no experience of using C libraries to read HDF5 files. We have used Python (h5py), MATLAB and HDFView (https://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads/hdfview/) to read gprMax output files successfully.

Maybe others on the forum have tried the C library and can assist.

Kind regards,

Craig

Bump. Still no resolution on this issue:

Does anyone know what to put in the 'name' field to open a .out file from gprMax using H5Dopen2?

Thanks.
