[CIG-SHORT] names of CUBIT entities with "@A" suffix

[Brad Aagaard]

Kang,

When CUBIT splits a named geometry entity (curve, surface, volume, etc) 
one part of the entity gets the original name. The name for the other 
part is a combination of the original name and "@" plus a letter . In 
the first split, the letter is "A", then next split "B", and so on. If 
you split a curve "topobathy", twice, you will end up with curves named 
"topobathy", "topobathy at A", and "topobathy at B".

Regards,
Brad
