SCMDetailedQuadInterWrapperMeshGenerator

Creates a detailed mesh of the inter-wrapper cells around square lattice subassemblies

Overview

This is a mesh generator used for visualization purposes only. It is part of an input file that creates a 3D realistic mesh of the inter-wrapper in a square lattice arrangement. This input file has a Problem block with the NoSolveProblem because it is not used to perform any calculations. It is used to create a detailed 3D mesh that the SCM solution gets projected on.
