UGrid Commands

UGrid datasets can be interpolated to other UGrids similar to how scatter point datasets can be interpolated to other objects. The Interpolate To command is found in the right-click menu of the UGrid dataset to be interpolated to another UGrid. This command opens the Interpolation Options dialog:

This dialog allows selecting the interpolation options to use, and the UGrid to interpolate to. See Interpolation for more information on interpolation. Options include:

  • Interpolating from
    • Object
    • Dataset
    • Time step
    • Use all time steps
  • Interpolating to
  • Dimension
    • 2D
    • 3D
  • Anisotropy
    • Horizontal anisotropy
    • Azimuth
    • Vertical Anisotropy (1/z mag)
  • Interpolation method
    • Linear
    • Inverse distance weighted
    • Clough-Tocher
    • Natural neighbor
    • Kriging
    • Log interpolation
    • Set data value <=0 to
  • Default extrapolation value
  • Assign default extrapolation value to hidden objects
  • Truncate values
    • Truncate to min/max of dataset
    • Truncate to specified range
    • Min
    • Max
  • '"Create dataset at
    • Points
    • Celss
  • New dataset name

It is also possible to drag a UGrid dataset and drop it on to another UGrid to open this dialog and indicate what the interpolation target is.

Points vs. Cells

UGrids can have datasets associated with both cells and points. Thus there is an option to specify where the new dataset will be located: at the points or at the cells.
