New Grid Provided from User

This task is the design and implementation of the system for user Grid generation. At this time we anticipate that this system will work in a similar way to the component set services routines for the gridded and coupler components. There will be a set of interfaces which allows the user to store their subroutines in a function table for generating the Grid information. The Grid generation subroutine will use these user provided subroutines to generate a new Grid. This Grid generation subroutine will employ the new Grid functionality implemented in 1.

The following is a description of what we expect the basic Grid generation path to look like:

Grid generation steps:

  1. Create a Mosaic Grid object to hold the grid information.
  2. Generate the tensor style Grid coordinates and meta data,including connection specifications.
  3. Create Grid tiles with the data created in above item.
  4. Specify the tile connection within the Mosaic.
