Core concepts

PLAID is a datamodel and library for organizing physics datasets and defining learning problems on these datasets.

It provides high-level classes such as Dataset, Sample, and ProblemDefinition, with features addressed via Feature identifiers.

PLAID relies on the CGNS standard for representing complex physics meshes and uses human-readable formats like .yaml, .csv for other features.

For more details and examples, see the Core concepts and Examples and Tutorials pages.
