GEOM140 Division of a Volume into cells of a given size

This routine creates new volumes from a mother by divisions of a given step.

CALL GSDVT (CHNAME,CHMOTH,STEP,IAXIS,NUMED,NDVMX)

CHNAME

( CHARACTER*4) a unique name for the volume to be generated by subdivision of the mother volume;

CHMOTH

( CHARACTER*4) volume that has to be subdivided;

STEP

( REAL) size of the divisions -- this value can be in centimeters or degrees according to the value of IAXIS;

IAXIS

( INTEGER) axis of the division.

NUMED

( INTEGER) medium number of the divisions -- this can be different from the one of the mother, as the division cells may leave a portion of the mother undivided (see below) -- if NUMED $\le 0$ the medium of the mother;

NDVMX

( INTEGER) expected (maximum) number of divisions -- if $\le 0$ or > 255 , 255 is assumed.

The full range of the mother will be divided in sections of the user supplied step. If the step is such that the mother cannot be divided exactly, the largest possible number of divisions will be generated, the excess space will be equally divided between each end of the range of the mother. These extra spaces will be assumed to belong to the mother.

For more information on the division in general, see [GEOM130].
