  • Connect the square width to the second port.
  • Connect the number of grid elements in the OX direction to the third port.

  • Connect the spacing between grid items to the fifth port.

After creating a node, connect the center of the first grid element to the first port. To the second port, you need to connect the square width. To the third and fourth ports, connect the number of grid elements, respectively, in the direction of OX and OY. To the fifth port, connect the distance between grid elements.
