DPF data structures#
DPF uses two main data structures to handle data: Fields and Collections. Therefore, it is important to be aware of how the data is structured in those containers.
The data containers can be:
Raw data storage structures: Data arrays (a
Field
for example) or Data Maps (aDataTree
for example)Collections: a group of same labeled objects from one DPF raw data storage structure (a
FieldsContainer
for example, that is a group ofFields
with the same label)
These tutorials explains how these structures work and how you can manipulate data within.
Data arrays - Fields
This tutorial shows how to create and work with data arrays in PyDPF-Core.
DPF collections
This tutorial shows how to create and work with some DPF collections: FieldsContainer, MeshesContainer and ScopingsContainer
