NAME

       blockMesh - part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox).

SYNOPSIS

       blockMesh [OPTIONS]

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     |\     |\     f3
                        |      | 4 ---- 5     \
                        |      3 |--- 2 |      \
                        |       \|     \|      f2
                        f4       0 ---- 1
           Y  Z
            \ |                f0 ------ f1
             \|
              O--- X
