Description
Block mesh generator.
The ordering of vertex and face labels within a block as shown below.
For the local vertex numbering in the sequence 0 to 7:
Faces 0, 1 (x-direction) are left, right.
Faces 2, 3 (y-direction) are front, back.
Faces 4, 5 (z-direction) are bottom, top.
7 ---- 6
f5 |nbsp; :nbsp; f3

| 3.|....2 | \
| \| \| f2
f4 0 ---- 1
Y Z
nbsp;| f0 ------ f1

o--- X
