The material coordinates field ``stomach coordinates`` defines a highly idealized coordinate system to give permanent
locations for embedding structures in the stomach. It is defined by a capsule-shaped structure with an inlet cylindrical
tube representing the esophagus and another outlet tube representing the duodenum. This can be viewed by
visualising this field in the *Display* tab of **Scaffold Creator** or by switching to the special ``Material``
parameter set.
tube representing the esophagus and another outlet tube representing the duodenum. In this coordinate field, the stomach
has a unit length of 2.0. The length of the fundus region is 0.7 unit. It is represented by a hemisphere with
unit length diameter along the first 0.5 unit length and a cylindrical tube with a uniform unit diameter along the next
0.2 unit along its length. The body continues as a cylindrical tube with a uniform unit diameter along its 0.6 unit
length. The antrum is a cylindrical tube of 0.3 unit length and the rate of change of its diameter along its length is
described by a cubic hermite function, decreasing at a rate of 0.75 unit/unit length. The pylorus and duodenum are both
described by cylindrical tube with a uniform diameter of 0.4 unit and a length of 0.2 unit. The material coordinates
field can be viewed by visualising this field in the *Display* tab of **Scaffold Creator** or by switching to the
special ``Material`` parameter set.

The stomach scaffold supports limited refinement/resampling by checking *Refine* (set parameter to ``true``) with chosen
*Refine number of elements* parameters. Be aware that only the ``coordinates`` field is currently defined on the refined
