FILLosophy

"Less is more" was never claimed in the pursuit of accurate numerical integration. But when times of station sparsity call for corrective action, you have a few options.

In Part Maker, use the FILL command (or SPACING statement in a CREATE command if defining a new part):

ENTER PM
READ theseus.gf

FILL (hull\hull.c) 5

WRITE theseus.gf1
QU



Or, in Section Editor, use FILL:


And such is the state of frustration, when we fear what we have filled in our haste can't be un-filled. And we fret, and we fret, until (with great elation) we find:

MC theseus.gf1 theseus.gf2 /MINGAP:2.5

...and now we are fulfilled.

(For those in Section Editor with less propensity for the dramatic, use Ctrl-U.)
