Description
    This boundary condition provides a temperatue interface to an external
    application. Values are transferred as plain text files, where OpenFOAM
    data is written as:
 
        # Patch: <patch name>
        <magSf1> <value1> <qDot1> <htc1>
        <magSf2> <value2> <qDot2> <htc2>
        <magSf3> <value3> <qDot3> <htc2>
        ...
        <magSfN> <valueN> <qDotN> <htcN>
 
    and received as the constituent pieces of the `mixed' condition, i.e.
 
        # Patch: <patch name>
        <value1> <gradient1> <valueFracion1>
        <value2> <gradient2> <valueFracion2>
        <value3> <gradient3> <valueFracion3>
        ...
        <valueN> <gradientN> <valueFracionN>
 
    Data is sent/received as a single file for all patches from the directory
 
        $FOAM_CASE/<commsDir>
 
    At start-up, the boundary creates a lock file, i.e..
 
        OpenFOAM.lock
 
    ... to signal the external source to wait.  During the boundary condition
    update, boundary values are written to file, e.g.
 
        <fileName>.out
 
    The lock file is then removed, instructing the external source to take
    control of the program execution.  When ready, the external program
    should create the return values, e.g. to file
 
        <fileName>.in
 
    ... and then re-instate the lock file.  The boundary condition will then
    read the return values, and pass program execution back to OpenFOAM.
 
    To be used in combination with the externalCoupled functionObject.
