Mapped Face Meshing

For this simulation we will use a mapped face mesh. A mapped face mesh is that a mesh that can be mapped to a rectangular domain. The domain for this simulation is already rectangular, thus mapped faced meshing will yield a rectangular grid mesh. In order to implement the mapped face meshing, first (Click) Mesh, . Next, (Click) Mesh Control > Mapped Face Meshing, as shown below.
