#
# This file generates a pattern used for the gridding of the SNEC models
#
# Total number of grid points is equal to imax.
# Current pattern consists of two geometric progressions, connected at the
# point itran and ensuring finer resolution of the grid in the inner (explosion)
# region and the surface region of the models.
#
# ratio1 gives the ratio between the size of the first and itran-th cell
# ratio2 gives the ratio between the size of the last  and itran-th cell
