[FLASH-USERS] Lay tracing on 2D cylindrical MHD simulation?

[Norbert Flocke]

Hello Po-Yu,

Yes, you can trace rays in a 2D cylindrical (r,z) domain. Other domain 
geometries the ray tracing package can handle are: 1D, 2D cartesian,
3D cartesian, 3D ray tracing in a 2D cylindrical domain.

Hope this helps,
Norbert
