\section Introduction
-On top of the MEDMEM library, MEDMEM comes with a few executables that
-are based on the MEDMEM library and that help the user to perform
+
+There are few executables based on the MEDCoupling and MEDLoader libraries that
+ help the user to perform
common operations on MED files :
- conversion to other formats,
- splitting of a %MED file to a parallel %MED file distributed over a
number of subdomains.
-\section medsplitter MEDSPLITTERtool
+\section medpartitioner MEDPartitioner tool
+
+The purpose of MEDPARTITIONER is to split MED files into
+a series of other MED files forming a partition of the original MED
+files. It can either work with serial meshes (1 to n) or distributed
+meshes (p to n). For serial meshes, it accepts MED files from the 2.1
+version onwards. For distributed MED files, it accepts MED files from
+the 2.3 version onwards.

+There exists a parallel version of MEDPARTITIONER, which accepts
+distributed MED files only. In contrast to the ordinary MEDPARTITIONER
+the parallel one distributes several usual MED files composing the
+whole model among available processors. After the
+partitioning, each processor writes only it's own part of the
+distributed MED file. The parallel MEDPARTITIONER processes meshes only,
+not fields.
-It can be used either as an executable, \a medsplitter or as a library. The partitioning is made thanks to one of the following library :

+medpartitioner_para) or as a library. The partitioning is made thanks to
+one of the following library :
- METIS (http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/views/metis/index.html)
- SCOTCH (http://www.labri.fr/perso/pelegrin/scotch/scotch_fr.html)
-The arguments to the medsplitter tool can be retrieved by calling :

-For Salome V4.1.0, one gets the following arguments :
+For Salome V7.2.0, one gets the following arguments (some of them are
+unavailable in parallel version):
\code
Available options:
--ndomains=<number> : number of subdomains in the output file, default is 1
--plain-master : creates a plain masterfile instead of an XML file
--creates-boundary-faces: creates the necessary faces so that faces joints are created in the output files
- --family-splitting : preserves the family names instead of focusing on the groups
+ --family-splitting : preserves the family names instead of focusing on the groups

+\section renumber RENUMBER tool
+
+The purpose of RENUMBER is to renumber the cell of a mesh in order to
+make numerical computation easier. This tool works with meshes
+which contain only one cell type and can renumber it according to two
+different methods:
+- Reverse Cuthill McKee (with the Boost Graph Library http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/graph/doc/table_of_contents.html)
+- Nested Dissection (with the METIS library
+http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/views/metis/index.html)
+
+It can be used in this way :
+\code
+renumber MEDFile_in MeshName Method[BOOST/METIS] MEDFile_out
\endcode
\section sauv2med sauv2med tool
The sauv2med tool enable conversion from a Cast3m \a sauv file into a
MED file. It is a python script that encapsulates the read/write
-drivers provided by the MEDMEM library.
+drivers provided by the MEDLoader library.
Calling
\code
-sauv2med myfile.med
+sauv2med myfile.sauv
\endcode
-generates a \a sauv file named \a myfile.med.sauv
-
+generates a \a med file named \a myfile.sauv.med
\section med2sauv med2sauv tool
Calling
\code
-med2sauv myfile.sauv
+med2sauv myfile.med
\endcode
-generates a \a med file named \a myfile.sauv.med
+generates a \a sauv file named \a myfile.med.sauv
