Clustering of Grids

Is it possible to generate clustered grids using ProSTAR using StarCD?

All that I found in the tutorials was to subdivide the grids again, but only with equal spacings in x,y,z coordinates.

Thanks for the help in advance

If you have a structured hex grid you can use the VGEN and VFILL commands to cluster vertices. Both of these commands have RATIO as an option in their command field input. Do a HELP on VGEN and VFILL.

You need to know your i,j,k vertex offsets to use these commands.

If your grid is not structured, have a look at the RESTRUCTURE command.

Have Fun.
