6 This document is the user guide of the %MED SALOME module. The MED
9 - \ref S1 to manipulate meshes and fields that conform
10 to the MED data model. This library can be used in C++ programs as
11 in python script for data processing on meshes and fields.
12 - \ref S2 that exhibits some useful functions of the
13 library for a graphical manipulation of data in standard use cases.
14 - \ref S3 that can be used to process MED data files
16 \section S1 A library of functions for data processing
18 The figure below represents the layer structure of the packages of the
21 \image html medlayers_70pc.png
23 The fundamentals consists in three atomic libraries:
25 - \ref medcoupling that describes DataStructures used for cross process exchange of meshes and fields.
26 - \ref medloader that provides I/O functions to the MED file format
27 - \ref interptools (INTERP_KERNEL + ParaMEDMEM::MEDCouplingRemapper) that provides
28 mathematical structures and algorithms for interpolation and
31 \section S2 A graphical interface for standard use cases
33 The MED module in SALOME comes with a graphical interface that helps
34 you to deal with most standard use case of fields manipulation. The

52 - Chapter \ref tools describes various tools based on MEDLoader that can
53 be helpful for handling MED files (conversion tools and splitting tools).
55 \section install Installation
56 The install procedure of the %MED SALOME module can handle a variety of configurations
57 to suit the needs of its user. Instructions for configuring and
58 installing the module an be found in \ref paramedmem_install.
