StackGenerator

Overview

The StackGenerator object allows to create a new 2D or 3D mesh by stitching several 2D or 3D meshes on top of each other (and so to create a stack).

The parameters to be provided are the input meshes,the dimension of the meshes (you can only stack together meshes of the same dimension), the names of the boundaries to be stitched, and the vertical height of the bottom of the final mesh.
