Create mesh (discretize)

nz = 9

# Padding
npadx = 14
npadyz = 12

alpha = 1.3

# Initiate TensorMesh
mesh = discretize.TensorMesh(
    [
        [(width, npadx, -alpha), (width, nx), (width, npadx, alpha)],
        [(width, npadyz, -alpha), (width, ny), (width, npadyz, alpha)],
        [(width, npadyz, -alpha), (width, nz), (width, npadyz, alpha)],

# Shift mesh so that
# x=0 is at midpoint of source;

Check if source and receiver are exactly at x-edges.

No requirement; if receiver are exactly on x-edges then no interpolation is required to get the responses (cell centers in x, cell edges in y, z).
