Usage:
grided
Description:
The grided program is a menu driven program to perform many
operations on one or more PLOT3D grid files. Menu options for single grid include:
Operations that do not change the grid dimensions
-------------------------------------------------
1 = Exit from this menu and program
2 = Interchange J and K grid families
3 = Interchange K and L grid families
4 = Interchange J and L grid families
5 = Reverse index direction in J and/or K and/or L
6 = Scale followed by translate
7 = Mirror about x=0, y=0 or z=0 plane
8 = Rotate about x, y, z or any arbitrary axis
9 = Reset axis/periodic/C-cut/constant-plane boundary points
10 = Average two or more grids
27 = Reset iblank value for specified subset
28 = Copy iblank value from L=1 to all other L
Operations that change the grid dimensions
------------------------------------------
11 = Extract a subset
12 = Add extra planes in J, K or L by extrapolation
(direction = x/y/z/tangent/smoothed tangent/specified vector)
13 = Add extra planes in J or K by reflected symmetry
14 = Add extra planes to 2D grid to form 3D grid for
'2D' or 'axisymmetric' option in OVERFLOW
15 = Duplicate and mirror reflected symmetry grid to form periodic grid in K
16 = Rotate curve/surface grid to generate surface/volume of revolution
18 = Create centroid curve along J, K or L direction
19 = Insert grid plane between 2 slices in J, K or L at specified arc
length location
20 = Concatenate another grid to current grid
21 = Split a grid into 2 grids in J, K, or L direction
22 = Create a new grid by duplicating a grid -
further ops will be performed on duplicated grid
23 = Split a curve into 2 or more segments at specified x/y/z station
24 = Split a curve into 2 pieces at location closest to specified x,y,z point
25 = Remove consecutive coincident points in J/K/L
26 = Sweep curve/surface grid by rotation and translation to generate surface/volume grid
99 = Go to multiple grid menu
Menu options for multiple grids include:
0 = Exit from this menu and program
1 = Go to single grid menu
2 = Append grids by reading new grid file
3 = Remove grids from current list
4 = Substitute a grid by reading new single grid
5 = Add/remove iblanks for all grids
6 = Swap grid numbers of two grids
7 = Rearrange sequence of all grids
9 = Write selected grids to file
11 = Extract grid slices within given tolerance to a Cartesian cut plane
12 = Extract N levels of grids using multi-grid algorithm
13 = Auto split curve grids at any interior point if it matches
any point from another curve grid
14 = Auto split curve grids at any interior point where the local
turning angle exceeds a given value
15 = Take iblanks from XINTOUT file and substitute into grid file
21 = Check volume mesh local self intersection against L=1 surface
22 = Report bounding box in the other directions given minmax in x, y or z
