The following tools are active in the dynamic portion of the Tool Palette whenever the Curvilinear Grid Module is active. Only one tool is active at any given time. The action that takes place when the user clicks in the Graphics Window with the cursor depends on the current tool. The table below describes the tools in the Curvilinear Grid tool palette.
| Tool | Tool Name | Description | Right Click Menu |
|---|---|---|---|
| File:Select node icon.bmp | Select Curvilinear Grid Node | The Select Curvilinear Grid Node tool is used to manually select and edit an individual node location. Currently, the only reason to select a grid node is to adjust the shape of the adjacent (4) elements. The status bar at the bottom of the screen displays the i, j, and id of the selected node. The current position of the node is displayed in the edit fields at the top of the screen. (Dragging of curvilinear grid nodes was added for SMS 11.2.) | N/A |

Currently, the only reason to select a cell is to delete it from the grid and create a hole (or notch) in the grid. This would be done when the cell covers an island or other region that should be excluded from the computational domain.
