Figure 1. Grid menu options.
| Options | Description |
|---|---|
| Refine Grid | This option allows the user to |
| increase the resolution of the grid. It operates by multiplying the existing number of cells in the current grid with I and J directions independently. | |
| Coarsen Grid | This option operates in an opposite way to that for Refine Grid. It decreases the resolution of the grid. |
| Orthogonalize Grid | This option is used to reduce the orthogonal deviation of a grid. |
| Merge Two Grids | Often the model domain is too complex to create a single grid that accurately represents the area. Therefore, the user may have to create several grids and connect them using the Merge Two Grid tool. |
| Delete Selected Grid Block | When a grid block is selected, using this option will delete grid nodes inside |
| the block. | |
| Modify Indexing | This feature allows to change grid indices, including transpose I-J, flip I or J, and rotate I→J and J→I ( |
Transpose I - J Indices Flip I Indices Flip J Indices Rotate Indices Clockwise Rotate Indices Counter-Clockwise | |
| Show Grid Properties | This feature allows |
