Line Smooth

To make the grid domain more even and to redistribute the distance between grid nodes the Line Smooth tool may be used. The steps to do this are:

  1. Select a grid layer in the Layer Control
  2. RMC on a node, hold the Shift key then LMC on the second node (these two nodes must be on the same gridline), and the segment will be highlighted. RMC to display the options, and select the Line Smooth option as shown in 2118778886. As a result, grid nodes are distributed along with the selected segment as shown in 2118778886. Note that after applying this option, the grid should be orthogonalized again.

  1. Select the grid layer in the Layer Control by LMC on that grid layer
  2. Set the mouse in the selection mode, hold the Shift key then LMC on two edge grid nodes on the same grid line segment. The segment will be highlighted in purple, then LMC on the third grid node to define the area to be affected.  Next, release Shift, then RMC to show options, and select the  Line Attraction option, as shown in 2118778886.
