With the upper left cell. Through this cell, draw the j-axis. 2 Draw the i-axis. To find the starting point for the i-axis, count j cells down the j-axis. In the example, one has to count 2 cells down (j=2). The positive direction of the i-axis is always two cell faces (120 degrees) relative to the positive direction of the j-axis. Find the first co-channel cell. It is found by counting i cells in the positive i-axis direction. In the example, i = 3. Find the other co-locating cells by repeating the previous steps. The Starting *oint i& again at t,e u**er le+t cell but no$ c,oo&e anot,er Direction for the j-axis (e.g. rotate the j-axis with 60 degrees, which is one cell face). As each cell has 6 faces, one will find 6 cochannel cells around the starting cells. These are the nearest located co-channel cells.
