Proposal: Visualization and quality examination of a mesh or grid is important to numerical simulations that solve science and engineering problems in a discretized domain. Assignment of boundary conditions at desired cell faces is equally important and sometimes difficult to realize if the computational domain is geometrically complex. We plan to write a graphical user interface (GUI) software to view and examine any three-dimensional volume mesh. The GUI reads a previously generated mesh data file in certain formats and displays the mesh on the screen. In addition, the GUI has the following features on the mesh:
1. zoom in/out
2. rotation and translation
3. interrogation for quality assessment
4. modification via redistribution of vertices
5. selection of any mesh identities (cell, face, line and vertex)
6. output of any selected mesh identities
7. combination of any selected faces for boundary condition assignment
