n_type_dict: Number of types in the dictionary of human-readable types of features.

n_parent_ids: Total number of parent identifier.

Groups cited:

NXcg_point_set, NXcg_polyhedron_set, NXcg_polyline_set, NXcg_triangle_set, NXprocess

Structure:

@depends_on: (optional) NX_CHAR

dimensionality: (optional) NX_UINT

What is the best matching description how dimensional the feature is. ...

What is the best matching description how dimensional the feature is.

Any of these values: 0 | 1 | 2 | 3

cardinality: (optional) NX_UINT {units=NX_UNITLESS}

How many features/members are in this set?

type_dict_keyword: (optional) NX_CHAR (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_type_dict])

The keywords of the dictionary of human-readable types of features. ...

The keywords of the dictionary of human-readable types of features. Using terms from a community-agreed upon controlled vocabulary, e.g. atom, solute, vacancy, monomer, molecule, anti-site, crowd_ion, quadruple junction, triple line, disconnection, dislocation, kink, jog, stacking_fault, homo_phase_boundary, hetero_phase_boundary, surface, thermal_groove_root, precipitate, dispersoid, pore, crack is recommended.

type_dict_value: (optional) NX_UINT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_type_dict]) {units=NX_UNITLESS}

The integer identifier used to resolve of which type each feature is, ...

The integer identifier used to resolve of which type each feature is, i.e. the values of the dictionary of human-readable types of features.

number_of_parent_identifier: (optional) NX_UINT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [c]) {units=NX_UNITLESS}

For each feature in the set specify the associated number of identifier ...

For each feature in the set specify the associated number of identifier to parent features as are resolvable via depends_on. This array enables to compute the array interval from which details for specific features can be extracted as if they would be stored in an own group.

parent_identifier: (optional) NX_UINT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_parent_ids]) {units=NX_UNITLESS}

Concatenated array of parent identifier for each feature (in the sequence) ...

Concatenated array of parent identifier for each feature (in the sequence) according to identifier and how the identifier of features in the here described feature set are defined (implicitly from 0, to c-1 or via explicit identifier.

identifier_offset: (optional) NX_INT {units=NX_UNITLESS}

Integer which specifies the first index to be used for distinguishing ...

Integer which specifies the first index to be used for distinguishing features. Identifiers are defined either implicitly or explicitly. For implicit indexing the identifiers are defined on the interval [identifier_offset, identifier_offset+c-1]. For explicit indexing the identifier array has to be defined.

The identifier_offset field can for example be used to communicate if the identifiers are expected to start from 1 (referred to as Fortran-/Matlab-) or from 0 (referred to as C-, Python-style index notation) respectively.

identifier: (optional) NX_INT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [c]) {units=NX_UNITLESS}

Integer used to distinguish features for explicit indexing.
