[Users] Achieve Cell-Center in NR simulation

[Bernard Kelly]

Hi Steve.

It looks like the "avoid_origin" options are commented out in your
parameter file, so they wouldn't be active. However, since they're
part of the ReflectionSymmetry thorn, they'd only work if you were
using reflection symmetry in one of more of the spatial dimensions.

To get what you want to happen, I'd manually shift the CoordBase
parameters a bit:

xmin -> xmin + delta
ymin -> ymin + delta
zmin -> zmin + delta
xmax -> xmax + delta
ymax -> ymax + delta
zmax -> zmax + delta

... where "delta" is half of your *finest* grid spacing --- 1/64, if
I'm reading the parameter file correctly. Then all the grids (base
level 0 and Carpet's refined levels 1-4) will be centered slightly off
the origin, as you wanted.

Although there is an option CartGrid3D::avoid_origin = “yes” in the thorn CartGrid3D, it seems that it doesn’t works properly: the data related to the grid points (0,0,0) is still been calculated (very large!). The related par file is attached in the attachment.
