The Grid and Work Plane dialog window allows users to:


  1. select a Work Plane (i.e., a plane in which users can specify various boundary objects, initial and boundary conditions, or other information),
  2. define the Origin of the coordinate system, and
  3. define the Alignment Grid. The Grid is defined by its Origin, the type (Grid Type) of coordinate system involved (either Cartesian or Polar), and the Grid Spacing. The Grid can also be rotated to facilitate work, for example when defining the domain for a hill slope problem.
