Proposed changes
Add an enum to
Block
that indicates whether the block represents aCube
or aSphericalShell
. Cubes can only have one block neighbor per dimension, whereas spherical shells can have multiple block neighbors (another shell, or 4 wedges in 2D, or 6 wedges in 3D).Also adds the code to connect element neighbors across spherical and cubed shells, to create the Ylm meshes, and to create a Sphere domain with spherical shells.
Only the spherical-to-cartesian coordinate map is missing to create spherical shells in ExportCoordinates3D. The coordinate maps are in #5588, but need to be adjusted a bit because we use the spherical coordinates directly as logical coordinates, so we don't need the maps from [-1, 1] to angles.
