Description
Description
This issue summarizes the steps to allow for import of embedded discrete fractures
Work Scope
The goal is to develop the tools necessary to import embedded fractures. Two approaches (paths) have been identified as shown in the figure:
- convert mesh into geometric information and employ the existing infrastructure to generate fracture mesh (it can be hard for very complex geometries and requires to build the fracture mesh each time)
- import all information form an external mesh (most likely a multiblock vtk format)

As part of this PR we also plan to extend the internal fracture mesh generator to other shapes and to intersections between fracture planes.
