[MITgcm-devel] llc with fewer than 5 faces

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Hi Ian,

I think that, in data.exch2:
1) by setting one face (e.g., face number 2) dimension to 0, 0
  the face is just removed (but we keep it's rank number)
2) then one just need to disconect this face (# 2):
  a) comment out line with 
    facetEdgeLink(1:4,2)= ...
  b) for other faces "facetEdgeLink", all other '2.*' connection
    will have to be replaced by 0.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel

I know there must be a file that specifies how the faces are interconnected.  Would it simply be a matter of stripping out all references to faces 2 and 4 in that file, for example?
