CMS-Flow can use a grid with varying resolution which is referred to as a telescoping grid. Telescoping grids have a base grid with a specified cell size. The cells in the child grid of the base grid have half the cell size (half in both I and J directions). This means each cell is divided into 4 cells.

Telescoping grids are created by creating polygons where you want the different levels of refinement in a CMS-Flow coverage. Each polygon is assigned the maximum allowable size for cells in this area. When you do Map->2D grid, you specify the size of the base grid. SMS will build a telescoping grid with as many levels as required to satisfy the constraints imposed by the polygons.

Note: Telescoping grids in SMS 11.0 are introduced with limited capability and no support. There are known issues such as problems with shading that will not be addressed in SMS 11.0.
