Detailed Description

A multi-block mesh generator.

Dictionary controls

Property	Description	Required	Default
`prescale`	Point scaling before transform	no	1.0
`scale`	Point scaling after transform	no	1.0
`transform`	Point transform (origin, rotation)	no
`vertices`		yes
`blocks`		yes
`edges`		no
`faces`		no
`boundary`	Boundary definition	no
`patches`	Alternate version for "boundary"	no
`namedBlocks`		no
`namedVertices`		no
`mergeType`	Merging "points" or "topology"	no	topology
`checkFaceCorrespondence`		no	true
`verbose`		no	true

Note: The prescale and scale can be a single scalar or a vector of values.

The vertices, cells and patches for filling the blocks are demand-driven.
