💖 mmk_m2 — create source meshes 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Scotch user's manual ✨ you're literally about to meet mmk_m2 and mmk_m3, the twin duo whose whole entire job is making source mesh files. no cap. 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mmk_m2, mmk_m3 — create source meshes 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mmk_m2 [options] [-gcfile] dimX dimY [ofile]

mmk_m3 [options] [-gcfile] dimX dimY dimZ [ofile]

like… that's the whole vibe check right there 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the mmk_* programs (the whole little family, asterisk and all) create source mesh files for some common, regular topologies. iconic behaviour fr fr 👑

mmk_m2 creates a 2D regular grid mesh of dimX times dimY elements and (dimX+1) times (dimY+1) nodes, such that element (i,j) is connected to nodes (i,j), (i,j+1), (i+1,j) and (i+1,j+1). that's it, that's the grid, she's serving corners 🌈

mmk_m3 creates a 3D regular grid mesh of dimX times dimY times dimZ elements and (dimX+1) times (dimY+1) times (dimZ+1) nodes, such that element (i,j,k) is connected to nodes (i,j,k), (i,j,k+1), (i,j+1,k), (i,j+1,k+1), (i+1,j,k), (i+1,j,k+1), (i+1,j+1,k) and (i+1,j+1,k+1). eight whole nodes. the way that she just… cubes 🧊💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -gcfile — outputs graph vertex coordinates (that is, geometry data to be used by gout(1)) in file cfile. so cute, so geometric 📐
• -h — display some help. she's helpful AND pretty 🫶
• -V — display program version and copyright. gotta give credit where credit is due 💅

---

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

create a mesh of 5x7 elements, along with its geometry:

$ mmk_m2 5 7 -g/tmp/m5x7.xyz /tmp/m5x7.msh

ate. no crumbs. 🍓✨

and that's the whole page bestie!! this little cutie dropped on 02 April 2021, and it's part of the Scotch user's manual, filed under mmk_m2(1). now go make some grids, you gorgeous genius 🦋💖🎀
