CVLGrid Settings

This menu allows the user to adjust default setting for grid generation. These include various genera settings as well as orthogonalization parameters, smoothing parameter, and scale settings. This menu can be accessed by clicking on the CVLGrid Settings button represented by the icon in the main toolbar. This settings window is shown in CVLGrid Settings#Figure 1 and CVLGrid Settings#Figure 2.

Figure 1. Grid generation settings.

I-Cells	Specifies number of cells in the I (X) direction.
J-Cells	Specifies number of cells in the J (Y) direction.
Scale Settings	Auto Set is set as default for viewing. The X and Y values can be manually adjusted by unchecking the Auto Set box and typing in the desired values in the input boxes. When Apply is selected the workspace is refreshed and zoomed in or out based on the X and Y coordinate limitations.
RHS Type	There are two optional choices for grid generation: Laplace and Sorenson.
Sorenson (a, b, c, d)	These are Sorenson coefficients. The user is able to put the coefficients when Sorenson option is chosen for the equation solving option. For RHS Type. a and c for P; b and d for Q. When a, b, c, d is greater than 100 the Sorenson tends to Laplace methodology in generating grid.
Number of Orthogonalization Iterations per Operation	Specifies the number of iterations to perform during calculation.
Number of Iterations of Boundary Adjustment	Specifies the number of times to move the boundary points. CVLGrid automatically sets these to 10 and 1 respectively. This is recommended if the grid is very large as it can reduce calculation time.
Ratio of Moving Points	Ratio of moving node grid on a segment on the border. 0< ratio <=1
Maintain Original Border after Orthogonalization	Keep grid nodes on the border close to the border as possible when orthogonalize is used
Maximum Number of Sub-segments	Specifies the maximum number of sub-segments

Spline Method	There are two optional choices for setting the spline type: B-Spline and Catmull-Rom.
Divisions	Number of point division between two spline points when draw a spline. 1<= Division <=100
Line Selected Formatting	Allows the user to format attributes of line and symbol when clicking on this image , a Line Formatting frame appears as CVLGrid Settings#Figure 3.
Distribute Symbols	Delta value to display space between point symbols in polyline. Default value is 0.2 inch.
Number of Smoothing Iterations per Operation	Specifies the number of iterations for smoothing
