[[EM.Cube]] allows you to navigate through the mesh grid and evaluate the grid points individually. Every time you display one of the three mesh grid planes, the "'''Grid Coordinate System (GCS)'''" is automatically activated. On the Status Bar, you will see [[Image:statusgrid.png]] instead of the default [[Image:statusworld.png]]. This means that the current coordinates reported on Status Bar are now expressed in grid coordinate system. The current grid point is displayed by a small white circle on the current mesh grid plane, and it always starts from (I= 0, J=0, K=0). Using the keyboard's '''Arrow Keys''', you can move the white circle through the mesh grid plane and read the current node's (I, J, K) indices on the status bar. You can switch back to the "'''World Coordinate System (WCS)'''" or change to the "'''Domain Coordinate System'''" by double-clicking the status bar box that shows the current coordinate system and cycling through the three options. The domain coordinate system is one that establishes its origin at the lower left front corner of the computational domain and measure distances in project unit just like the WCS.
