BLEND_GRID

Definition

The number of finite elements (blending functions), n_b\,\!, used to discretize the field equations.

Comments

  • These can be linear, quadratic or cubic functions.
  • The value of BLEND_GRID should normally be equal to ORBIT_GRID. Strongly shaped plasmas may require larger values of both.
  • Experience shows that acceptable results are achieved with BLEND_GRID=6.
