/** @example GenLargeMesh.cpp \n
 * \brief Create a large structured mesh, partitioned \n
 *
 *  It shows how to create a mesh on the fly, on multiple processors
 *  Each processor will create its version of a block mesh, partitioned
 *  as AxBxC blocks. Each block will be with blockSize^3 hexahedrons, and
 *  will get a different PARALLEL_PARTITION tag
 *
 *  The number of tasks will be MxNxK, and it must match the mpi size
 *  Each task p will generate its mesh at location (m,n,k), and it is
 *  lexicographic ordering: rank = m + n * M + k * M * N
 *
 *  By default M=1, N=1, K=1, so by default it should be launched on 1 proc
 *  By default, blockSize is 4, and A=2, B=2, C=2, so each task will generate locally
 *  blockSize^3 x A x B x C hexahedrons (value = 64x8 = 512 hexas, in 8 partitions)
 *  (if -t, multiple by 6 for total number of cells/tets)
 *  The total number of partitions will be A*B*C*M*N*K (default 8)
 *
 *  Each part in partition will get a proper tag, and the numbering is in
 *  lexicographic ordering; x direction varies first, then y, then z.
 *  The same principle is used for global id numbering of the nodes and cells.
 *  (x varies first)
 *
 *  The vertices will get a proper global id, which will be used to resolve the
 *  shared entities
 *  The output will be written in parallel, and we will try sizes as big as we can
 *  (up to a billion vertices, because we use int for global ids)
 *
 *  Within each partition, the hexas entity handles will be contiguous, and also the
 *  vertices; The global id will be determined easily, for a vertex, but the entity
 *  handle space will be more interesting to handle, within a partition (we want
 *  contiguous handles within a partition). After merging the vertices, some fragmentation
 *  will occur in the vertices handle space, within each partition.
 *
 *  To run: ./GenLargeMesh
 *
 *  When launched on more procs, you have to make sure
 *  num procs = M*N*K
 *
 *  So you can launch with
 *  mpiexec -np 8 ./GenLargeMesh -M 2 -N 2 -K 2
 *
 *  We also added -q option; it works now only for hexa mesh, it will generate
 *  quadratic hex27 elements
 *
 *  -t option will generate tetrahedrons instead of hexahedra. Each hexahedra is
 *  decomposed into 6 tetrahedrons.
 *
 *  -f option will also generate all edges and faces in the model.
 *  -w will use a newer merging method locally. Merging is necessary to merge
 *  vertices on the local task, and the new method does not use a searching tree,
 *  but rather the global id set on the vertices in a consistent manner
 *
 *  -d and -i options can be used to add some artificial tags on the model;
 *  you can have multiple -d and -i options; -i \c tag_name will set an integer
 *  tag with name tag_name on the vertices; -d < tag_name2> will generate
 *  double tags on cells (3d elements). You can have multiple tags, like
 *  -i tag1 -i tag2 -i tag3 -d tag4
 *
 *  -x, -y, -z options will control the geometric dimensions of the final mesh, in
 *  x, y and z directions.
 *
 *  -o \c out_file controls the name of the output file; it needs to have extension h5m,
 *  because the file is written in parallel.
 *
 *  -k will keep the edges and faces that are generated as part of resolving shared entities
 *  (by default these edges and faces are removed); when -f option is used, the -k option is
 *  enabled too (so no faces and edges are deleted)
 *
