Application
    blockMesh

Description
    A multi-block mesh generator.

    Uses the block mesh description found in
      - \c system/blockMeshDict
      - \c system/<region>/blockMeshDict
      - \c constant/polyMesh/blockMeshDict
      - \c constant/<region>/polyMesh/blockMeshDict

Usage
    \b blockMesh [OPTION]

    Options:
      - \par -blockTopology
        Write the topology as a set of edges in OBJ format.

      - \par -region <name>
        Specify an alternative mesh region.

      - \par -dict <filename>
        Specify alternative dictionary for the block mesh description.
