MESH Command

MESh { X | Y | Z } NSR STP
NDV(1) WSR(1) RDV(1)
NDV(2) WSR(2) RDV(2)
...
NDV(NSR) WSR(NSR) RDV(NSR)

UNIX version only.

The MESH command defines a regular rectangular mesh superimposed on the Sabrina 3D solid geometry. The mesh is used when calculation volume fractions with the VOLFR command. The rectangular mesh is defined with 3 sets of planes orthogonal to each of the three coordinate axes. The range along any or all of the 3 axes may be subdivided into a number of subranges; the spacing between planes in each subrange may be different. The spacing between planes within a subrange may be constant or may either increase or decrease with a constant ratio. The width of the subrange, the number of divisions, and the ratio of two adjacent divisions are specified for each direction.

{ X | Y | Z } The direction along which division occurs.
STP Starting location of the first plane intersecting the axis.
NSR Number of Regions or subranges along the axis. For each subrange n (1 <= n <= NSR):
NDV(n) Number of intervals.
WSR(n) Ending location of the n -th subrange along the axis.
RDV(n) Ratio of the widths of consecutive intervals.

MESh W NX [NY NZ]

Set the mesh from the Spatial Window. The mesh boundaries are the window limits. There is one region in each direction with NX, NY, or NZ equally spaced subdivisions. If NY and NZ are ommitted, they are set equal to NX.

Limits:
There can be no more than 100 Regions in each direction (NSR <= 100).

There can be no more than 999 total intervals in each direction (NDV(1) + NDV(2) + ... NDV(NSR) <= 999).

MESh Plot {ON | OFf}

Plot or don't plot the mesh in the 2-D geometry plots.
