The Sheffield Advanced Code

SAC is a 1-3D ideal MHD / HD solver that solves for pertubations on top of a static background.

Building SAC

The standard way to build SAC is:

cd sac/src
make vac

It is also possible to build SAC using Python + Fabricate:

cd sac/src
python sac_fabricate.py

The fabricate method is designed to allow the automatic configuration of the build parameters from other Python code. See https://github.com/SWAT-Sheffield/Flux-Surfaces.
