General Module Function
The translate module is used to translate or offset any three dimensional grid coordinate system to a new location. One possible use for this module would be to convert a modflow or mt3d grid (having a grid origin of 0,0,0) to the state plane coordinate system of the modeled area. Translate can offset one or all of the X, Y or Z values of a structured or unstructured mesh by a user specified value.
Module Input Ports
Translate has only one input port which accepts a structured or unstructured mesh. There can be several data components, either vector or scalar, in the data field.
Module Output Ports
Translate has two output ports. The first output port (closest to the left) outputs the same connectivity data as the input mesh with only the coordinate values adjusted to reflect the new translated coordinate information. The second output port sends a renderable object to the viewer.
Module Control Panel
The control panel for translate is shown in the figure above. Edit fields are available for adjusting the X offset, Y offset, and Z offset. The default for each of these edit fields is 0.0 and the available range is unrestricted.
