Micromagnetic Problem Editor: mmProbEd

Overview
The application mmProbEd provides the service of supplying the description of a micromagnetic problem to a solver. The problem descriptions are stored and transmitted in the Micromagnetic Input Format (MIF). mmProbEd also provides a user interface through which the contents of a micromagnetic problem description may be edited and then saved to a file or transmitted to a solver.

Launching
mmProbEd may be started either by selecting the mmProbEd button on mmLaunch, or from the command line via

tclsh app/oommf/oommf.tcl mmProbEd [-console]

Inputs
The menu selection File |Open... displays a dialog box for selecting a file from which to load a MIF problem description from a file. Several example files are included in the OOMMF release in the directory app/mmpe/examples. At startup, mmProbEd loads the problem contained in app/mmpe/init.mif as an initial problem.

Outputs
The menu selection File |Save as... displays a dialog box for selecting/entering a file in which the problem description currently held by mmProbEd is to be saved. When saving a problem description to a file, mmProbEd does not include comments. This means that a simple operation of reading in a MIF file and then saving it will not preserve (often useful) comments in the output file.

Each instance of mmProbEd contains exactly one problem description at once. Each also accepts and services requests from client applications (typically solvers) for the problem description it contains.

Controls
The main panel in the mmProbEd window contains buttons corresponding to the sections in a MIF problem description. Selecting a button brings up another window through which the contents of that section of a problem description may be edited. The MIF sections and the elements they contain are described in detail in the MIF documentation. Only one editing window is displayed at a time. The windows may be navigated in order using their Next or Previous buttons.

The menu selection File |Exit terminates the mmProbEd application. The menu Help provides the usual help facilities.
