Importing Disconnected Sub-domains

EE has the ability to import grids with multiple sub-domains. When the user checks the box labeled Check for Disconnected Sub-Domains the MAPGNS file will store the various sub-domains. The user is then able to post-process the grid to allow non-adjoining cells to connect. This is useful when importing complex grid systems.

To import multiple subdomains the user should first browse to load one subdomain. After this they may select the Check for Disconnected Sub-Domains checkbox as well as the Load Additional Sub-Domains CVL/GRD File as shown in Figure 1. The user may then select the Generate button. Only after selecting the Generate button will EE allow the user to navigate to the other subdomains. The remaining subdomains should all be selected at the same time by combination of Ctrl key and LMC then select the Open button. In this way several unconnected sub-domains can be loaded into EE.
