lected scalar quantity, the adaption threshold values, and the adaption limits.

ified threshold values and adaption limits.

values and adaption limits.

brid adaption functions.

mark-with-y*-zones Mark only cells associated with specified wall zones for refinement
or coarsening based on the specified threshold values.
refine-bndry-cells Refines the boundary cells based on the specified list of zones and
adaption limits.
refine-large-cells Refine cells that are larger than prescribed volume.
refine-to-vol-change Refine cells with large changes in cell volume.
set/ Enter the adaption set menu.
cell-zones Set cell zones to be used for marking adaption.
coarsen-grid? Turn on/off ability to coarsen grid.
display-crsn-settings Prompt for coarsening wireframe visibility and shading,
and the marker visibility, color, size and symbol.
