This talk will update an ongoing study of magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause in the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry (LFM) global magnetospheric simulation code. In this simulation the ideal MHD equations are solved with any reconnection resulting from an activation of the nonlinear TVD switches which control the placement of numerical resistivity. We will utilize several different techniques to determine the location and type of reconnection processes occurring within the simulation. The classification effort will include visualizations of the magnetic field configuration, flux tube tracing, as well as scalar parameters like the parallel electric field and difference between fluid and \mathbf{E} × \mathbf{B} velocities near the dissipation domain. Particular attention is paid to trying to determine the differences between anti-parallel and component reconnection occurring in the complicated three dimensional geometry near the Earth's magnetopause. This investigation will be conducted for several different IMF directions include those which include both B_y and negative B_z.
