create_grid

The create_grid module produces a 2D or 3D uniform grid that can be used for any purpose. A typical use is starting points for 3d streamlines or advector. In 2D (default) mode it creates a rectangle of user adjustable grid resolution and orientation. In 3D mode it creates a box (3D grid). The number of nodes will depend on the X, Y & optional Z resolutions as well as the cell type specified.
