Two-grid simulation method combining advantages of both polar and cartesian mesh-codes is described. In addition to stellar component reacting solely to gravitational forces, gas component is included with dissipatively colliding particles. This allows fairly realistic simulation of planar encounters where both systems contain star+gas disks.
