/** \class ScdInterface ScdInterface.hpp "moab/ScdInterface.hpp"
 * \brief A structured mesh interface for MOAB-based data
 *
 * Structured mesh in MOAB is created and accessed through the ScdInterface and ScdBox classes.
 *
 * \section Construction Construction and Representation
 * Structured mesh can be constructed in one of two ways.  First, a rectangular block of mesh,
 * both vertices and edges/quads/hexes, can be created in one shot, using the construct_box method.
 * In this case, there are single sequences of vertices/entities.  The second method for creating
 * structured mesh is to create the structured blocks of vertices and elements separately.  In
 * this case, different blocks of elements can share blocks of vertices, and each block of
 * elements has its own independent parametric space.  The algorithms behind this representation
 * are described in T. Tautges, "MOAB-SD: Integrated structured and unstructured mesh
 * representation", Eng. w Comp, vol 20 no. 3.
 *
 * Structured mesh is represented in MOAB down at the element sequence level, which is something
 * applications don't see.  In addition, when structured mesh is created, entity sets are also
 * created and tagged with information about the parametric space.  In particular, the BOX_DIMS
 * tag is used to indicate the lower and upper corners in parametric space (this
 * tag is integer size 6).  Structured mesh blocks are also available through ScdBox class objects
 * returned by ScdInterface.  These class objects should be treated only as references to the
 * structured mesh blocks; that is, the structured mesh referenced by these objects is not deleted
 * when the ScdBox instance is destroyed.  Functions for destroying the actual mesh are available
 * on this class, though.
 *
 * Structured mesh blocks are returned in the form of ScdBox class objects.  Each ScdBox instance
 * represents a rectangular block of vertices and possibly elements (edges, quads, or hexes).  The
 * edge/quad/hex entity handles for a ScdBox are guaranteed to be contiguous, starting at a starting
 * value which is also available through the ScdBox class.  However, vertex handles may or may not
 * be contiguous, depending on the construction method.  The start vertex handle is also available
 * from the ScdBox class.
 *
 * \section Parameters Parametric Space
 *
 * Each structured box has a parametric (ijk) space, which can be queried through the ScdBox
 * interface. For non-periodic boxes, the edge/quad/hex parameter bounds are one less in each
 * dimension than that of the vertices, otherwise they are the same as the vertex parameter bounds.
 * In a parallel representation, boxes are locally non-periodic by default, but global ids are
 * assigned such that the last set of vertices in a periodic direction match those of the first set
 * of vertices in that direction.
 *
 * Entity handles are allocated with the i parameter varying fastest, then j, then k.
 *
 * \section Per Periodic Meshes
 * Boxes can be periodic in i, or j, or both i and j.  If only i or j is periodic, the corresponding
 * mesh is a strip or an annular cylinder; if both i and j are periodic, the corresponding mesh is
 * an annular torus.  A box cannot be periodic in all three parameters.  If i and/or j is periodic,
 * and assuming IMIN/JMIN is zero, the parameter extents in the/each periodic direction (IMAX/JMAX)
 * for vertices and edges/faces/hexes are the same, and the vertices on the "top" end in the
 * periodic direction are at parameter value IMIN/JMIN.
 *
 * \section Par Parallel Representation
 *
 * For parallel structured meshes, each local mesh (the mesh on a given process) looks like a
 * non-periodic structured mesh, and there are both local and global parameters of the structured
 * mesh.  If the mesh is periodic in a given direction, the last process in the periodic direction
 * has local IMAX/JMAX that is one greater than the global IMAX/JMAX.
 *
 *
 * In parallel, the periodicity described in the previous paragraph is "local periodicity"; there is
 * also the notion of global periodicity.  For serial meshes, those concepts are the same.  In
 * parallel, a mesh can be locally non-periodic but globally periodic in a given direction.  In that
 * case, the local mesh is still non-periodic, i.e. the parametric extents for edges is one fewer
 * than that of vertices in that direction. However, vertices are given global ids such that they
 * match those of the parametric minimum in that direction. Geometric positions of the vertices at
 * the high end should still be greater than the ones just below.
 *
 * \section Adjs Adjacent Entities
 * This interface supports parametric access to intermediate-dimension entities, e.g. adjacent faces
 * and edges in a 3d mesh.  In this case, a direction parameter is added, to identify the parametric
 * direction of the entities being requested.  For example, to retrieve the faces adjacent to a hex
 * with parameters ijk, in the i parametric direction, you would use the parameters ijk0.  These
 * intermediate entities are not stored in a structured representation, but their parametric
 * positions can be evaluated based on their adjacencies to higher-dimensional entities.  Thanks to
 * Milad Fatenejad for the thinking behind this.
 *
 * \section Evaluation Evaluation
 * The ScdBox class provides functions for evaluating the mesh based on the ijk parameter space.
 * These functions are inlined where possible, for efficiency.
