zone.field.method.name

Syntax

s := zone.field.method.name

zone.field.method.name = s

Get/set the method used for extrapolation of zone-based variables.

This has no effect on gridpoint-based variables.

The available names are constant, average, inverse-distance-weighting, and polynomial (3D ONLY). The default value is constant.

The extrapolation methods are used to determine values at the gridpoints of the zone. Then a weighting function is used to determine how values vary inside the zone.

Returns:

s - the zone field extrapolation method name

Accepts:

s - the zone field extrapolation method name. Keyword matching rules are used on assignment. If no match is found, an error will occur.
