_meshSpacing is only implemented for (square (including skew)) grids and only used by the _ModCellGradVariable. It's apparently been like that since before FiPy was FiPy, 14 years ago.
I'll need to think about this more deeply to understand why normalizing by grid spacing even makes sense, much less what the answer should be for a general mesh. > On Feb 6, 2018, at 7:17 PM, Sachin Kurian <sach...@vt.edu> wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I've just started using FiPy.
