OPEN FILE(S) A file must be opened before any other
operation and the program will initially
come up in this menu. The file can have
been created on any machine, but must have
the appropriate extension.

GRID GENERATION
PICK ZONE The program will display a list of zones in
the functional menu area.
MODIFY ZONE
SAVE ZONE Save the current zone at any time during the
grid generation process. This writes over
the corresponding zone in the file. It is
not necessary for the user to remember to
save the zone because if the user tries to
exit from the grid generation section or
read in another zone, the program prompts
for whether the current zone should be
saved.
RESTORE ZONE Restore the last version of the zone that
has been saved in the file. This overwrites
the current version of the zone in memory.
LOAD FROM FILE Replaces the current zone with a zone from
another file.
TRANSLATE ZONE Translate the physical coordinates of the
entire zone. The user is prompted for DX,
DY, and DZ.
ROTATE ZONE Rotate the physical coordinates of the
entire zone. The user is prompted for
rotation axis and angle.
SCALE ZONE Scale the physical coordinates of the entire
zone. The user is prompted for individual
scale factors for each coordinate direction,
SX, SY, and SZ.
RE-MAP ZONE Changes the I,J,K and/or X,Y,Z mapping of a
zone.

CURRENT SETTING
INTERIOR GRID The interior grid option operates only
on interior points. The boundaries are
not changed. In addition, the interior
grid generation functions operate on the
currently defined subset. The default
subset is the entire zone, but can be
changed by picking on the Subregion
definition in the lower-right corner of the
screen.
ALGEBRAIC Algebraic interpolation may be performed
over the entire zone or on a user-defined
subregion of the zone.
LINEAR IN I Perform straight line interpolation
between opposite boundaries with spacing
distributions interpolated from the
boundaries.
LINEAR IN J
LINEAR IN K
JK TRANSFINITE Perform transfinite interpolation in the
designated plane for each such plane in
selected region.
IK TRANSFINITE
IJ TRANSFINITE
IJK TRANSFINITE Perform 3D transfinite interpolation from
the boundaries of the specified region.
