Short summary
The SAPRC Atmospheric Chemical Mechanism Generation System (MechGen) generates explicit chemical reaction mechanisms for organic compounds. MechGen has been used for decades in the development of the widely used SAPRC mechanisms. This paper, detailing the software system, and a companion paper, detailing the chemical basis, represent the first complete documentation of MechGen. This paper includes examples and instructions for generating explicit and reduced mechanisms.
