/GAUGE/POINT
Block Format Keyword Defines gauges. Gauge can be used to save the pressure, density and specific energy histories at a fixed position.
The /TH/GAUGE card must be defined to output histories in the time history file.

Comments
- A gauge can be defined by position using coordinates X, Y, Z, then the gauge is fixed in space and time.
- Position is updated if transformation is applied on sub model (//SUBMODEL).
- In the time history file, the gauge will have the following name, gauge_title.
- Gauges can be used for ALE and for Finite Volume Method.
