Extract Subgrid

The Extract Subgrid tool is used to create a mesh that is a subset of another mesh or UGrid. When using the tool, an existing mesh or UGrid is required along with a map coverage containing a polygon that defines the subgrid domain.

A subgrid is often used to make edits to a portion of a grid that is too large to edit conveniently. If this is the case, when the edits are finished, the subgrid can be merged with the original grid.

Input parameters

  • Grid – Select the base 2D mesh or UGrid in the project from which the subgrid will be extracted.
  • Subgrid boundary coverage – Select a coverage in the project that contains a polygon which defines the boundaries of the subgrid domain.

Output parameters

  • Grid name – Name of the 2D mesh that will be created.
