Grids

This part contains information on the grids used by the component model. There might one or more grid per component. All grids should be described by the component developer in the PMIOD.

Each grid (element `grid') is described by:

• the grid name: attribute `local_name', which must match the 2$^{nd}$ argument grid_name of PSMILe call prism_def_grid (see section 5.3.1)

• for each global grid dimension: elements `indexing_dimension':
  • the rank of the dimension: attribute `index' which is of type integer

  • whether or not the global grid is periodic is this dimension (e.g. a global grid is periodic in i if index imax of the grid_valid_shape, see 5.3.1, is the neighbour of index i=1); attribute `periodic' either true or false
