• structure (MFDataStructure) – describes the structure of the data
• data (list or ndarray) – actual data
• enable (bool) – enable/disable the array
• path (tuple) – path in the data dictionary to this MFArray
• dimensions (MFDataDimensions) – dimension information related to the model, package, and array
