151 has specific geometric constraints oriented for meshing. In the hexahedral

\r
156 <p>Tetrahedral Block - is a block with constraints for tetrahedral meshing.

161 <p>Hexahedral Block - is a block with constraints for hexahedral meshing.</p>

165 <p>Block Compound - is a compound composed of blocks only.</p>
