Gmsh reader
As the .msh file does not differentiate lower-dimensional blocks and sidesets, we need to change the Gmsh format (and the Moose's reader).
This will allow us for example to create 2D fractures in a 3D rock matrix.
Find in the file the paragraph that looks like this :
$PhysicalNames
4
2 1 "fracs"
2 3 "top"
2 4 "bottom"
3 2 "volume"
$EndPhysicalNames`
You want your group "fracs" to be a lower-dimensional block instead of a sideset so just write our keyword lower_dimensional_block at the end of this line, like this :
$PhysicalNames
4
2 1 "fracs" lower_dimensional_block
2 3 "top"
2 4 "bottom"
3 2 "volume"
$EndPhysicalNames
The group "fracs" will now be recognized as a block like the group "volume".
##Moose's new Gmsh reader
###File
###Usage
When the mesh is loaded on peacock, it will recognize the groups tagged with lower_dimensional_block as blocks.
