MEDMEM user's guide

Introduction

This document constitutes the user guide of the MEDMEM library and of its related tools.

Installation

The install procedure of the MEDMEM library can handle a variety of configurations to suit the needs of its user. Instructions for configuring and installing the library can be found in Configuring and Installing MEDMEM from sources.

Outline

This user guide contains three different chapters that covers the core MEDMEM library, the ParaMEDMEM library and the MEDSPLITTER tool:

• Chapter MEDCoupling describes DataStructures used for cross process exchange of meshes and fields.
• Chapter ParaMEDMEM library describes its MPI implementation, which is called ParaMEDMEM.
• Chapter MEDLoader describes API for I/O from or to a MED file coming from a MEDCoupling data structure.
• Chapter Interpolation tools describes the interpolation and localization library.
• Chapter MEDMEM library covers the MEDMEM core library, i.e. the implementation of meshes, supports and fields and the associated drivers (for MED-file, VTK, GIBI).
• Chapter MEDMEM tools describes various tools based on MEDMEM that can be helpful for handling MED files (conversion tools and splitting tools).
