✨ m2gmetis ✨

okay bestie, gather round 🫶 this is m2gmetis — the little command that converts a mesh into a graph that is compatible with METIS. that's the whole vibe. mesh goes in, METIS-friendly graph comes out. iconic behavior honestly 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

m2gmetis [options] <meshfile> <graphfile>

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

🎀 Required parameters

these are not optional, bestie. you have to give her these two. no skipping, no "I'll add it later" 🙈

  • meshfile — this is where your input mesh lives. she stores the input mesh, periodt.
  • graphfile — the filename of the output graph. yes, you name the thing she's about to make. main character energy.

⭐ Optional parameters

these are the lil extras, the accessories to the outfit ✨

  • -gtype=string — tells her which graph to generate. the possible values are:
    • dual — Generate dual graph of the mesh [default]
    • nodal — Generate the nodal graph of the mesh
  • -ncommon=int — [applies when gtype=dual] this one specifies the common number of nodes that two elements must have in order to put an edge between them in the dual graph. Default is 1.
  • -dbglvl=int — Selects the dbglvl. that's it, that's the whole job 🐛
  • -help — Prints this message. she's helping!! 🫶
ngl bestie, if you forget -help exists you will simply be guessing. she is RIGHT there.

and that's the page 💜 lowkey a classic. m2gmetis 5.1.0.3, born July 2025 — go forth and graph, you absolute legend 👑 🌈
