Define each "object" independently, except all objects have one
dimension in common. There will be no formal "array of objects", but
you can access them automatically in a program, via an array of
variable names.
This is a simplistic view of what I think you requested. Will this work?
dimensions:
d = 30 ;
nx = 5 ;
ny = 7 ;
nz = 11 ;
variables:
float x(nx,d) ;
float y(ny,d) ;
float z(nz,d) ;
