QUADXY
Define an arbitrary, logical quad of points in 3D space with NDIM1 x NDIM2 number of nodes.
The four corners of the quad surface are defined in counter clockwise order ( the normal to the quad points is defined using the right hand rule and the order of the points).
The nodes can be connected using the createpts/brick/xyz command.
FORMAT: quadxy/ndim1, ndim2 /x1,y1,z1/x2,y2,z2/x3,y3,z3/x4,y4,z4/
  EXAMPLES: quadxy / 3 5 /0. 0. 0./10. 0. 0./10. 20. 0./0. 20. 0.
