The "Volume" for a 2D mesh is the area of the cell. The "Volume" for a 1D mesh is the length of the cell. The CylindricalGrid2D represents a wedge that subtends 1 rad. _______________________________________________ fipy mailing list fipy@nist.gov http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy [ NIST internal ONLY: https://email.nist.gov/mailman/listinfo/fipy ]
