metricGet_Minkowski

Description

Creates a Minkowski spacetime in Cartesian coordinates.

Method

The metric is constructed using the standard signature of (-,+,+,+).

Syntax

[metric] = metricGet_Minkowski(gridSize,gridScale)

Input Arguments

blue are required inputs.

orange are optional inputs with native default values.

Inputs	Format	Type	Description
gridSize	1x4 array	integer	The size of the world specified as: $[t, x, y, z]$
gridScale	1x4 array	double	Unit scaling factor of the grid dimensions defined relative to gridSize. This determines the resolution of the grid along each dimension. Specified as: $[t_{scale}, x_{scale}, y_{scale}, z_{scale}]$ The default value is [1, 1, 1, 1].

Output Arguments

Outputs	Format	Type	Description
metric	struct	object	Minkowski metric tensor object.
