Two-dimensional grids are stored in 2D grid files. The grids can be either cell-centered or mesh-centered. If the grid is mesh-centered, a set of material IDs may be included in the file. The 2D grid file format is shown in Figure 1, and a sample file in Figure 2.

2D Grid Files Card Types

The card types used in the 2D grid file format are as follows:

Card Type GRID2D

Required YES


Card Type TYPE
Description Defines the type of grid as either cell- or mesh-centered.
Required YES
Format TYPE i
Sample TYPE 0
Field Variable Value Description
1 i 0,1 The type code:
  • i = 0 for mesh-centered
  • i = 1 for cell-centered


Card Type IJ
Description Defines the orientation of the i,j indices.
Required YES
Format IJ ±idir ±jdir
Sample IJ +x -y
Field Variable Value Description
1 ±idir ±x,±y The direction corresponding to an increasing i index.
2 ±jdir ±x,±y The direction corresponding to an increasing j index.


Card Type DIM
Description Defines the dimensions of the grid.
