29. hdf5file — Store pyFormex geometry or projects in HDF5 format.

Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) is a set of file formats designed to store and organize large amounts of data. The HDF libraries and associated tools are available under a liberal, BSD-like license for general use. HDF is supported by many commercial and non-commercial software platforms and programming languages. See more on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_Data_Format.

This module is currently under development and should be considered experimental. Do not rely on it yet as the only ouput format for your data.
