Allow VENT application to GEOM without special flag

[ericvmueller]

Based on this discussion, add feature to more intelligently handle VENT application to GEOM without needing to set GEOM=T

^{Originally posted by Weggins April 19, 2023} Hi everyone, I am trying to establish a model to simulate the fire spread on a canyon terrain. I use 'GEOM' to realize a canyon terrain and I use the parameters about vegetation which is referred to in hill_structure_bench.fds. However, it is a pity that I cannot see the fire spread. I hope someone can give me some advise. The commands are the following: &MESH ID='canyon', IJK=80,70,50, XB=-4.0,4.0,-1.0,6.0,0.0,5.0/

@drjfloyd I'll work with you on this. I'll just need from you help with testing HVAC when I get to that.
