GMS:2D Grid Commands

When the 2D Grid module is active, the Grid menu becomes active. The Grid menu contains one submenu; the Convert To submenu. The following commands are found in the Grid menu:

• Create Grid...

Brings up the Create Finite Difference Grid dialog.

• Merge Cells

Merges selected grid rows or columns into one grid row or column.

• Find Cell...

The Find Cell command in the Grid menu opens a dialog that lets you find a grid cell or node by ID or by IJ (for 2D Grids) or IJK (for 3D Grids) indices. The cell or node is selected and highlighted. If there is no cell or node with the given ID or IJK, the one closest to it is selected.

• Find Node...

Selects a node given an ID or IJ coordinate.

• Zoom To Extents

Frames the Graphics Window around the selected objects.

Convert To> submenu

• Grid → 2D Scatter Points

Creates a scatter point set with a point on the center of each cell with the value of the cell.

• Grid → TIN

Creates a TIN based on cell centers of the grid.

• Grid → 2D Mesh

Creates a mesh typically from the cell centered values in the grid for the different layers. The first dialog allows the user to choose between the cell centers or the cell corners to create the mesh. A disclaimer is given that data values are given at the cell center and that datasets will not be converted.

• Contours → Arcs

Converts layer contours into arcs that can be manipulated as drawing objects.
