Class
    Foam::zoneGenerators::cell
 
Description
    A zoneGenerator which converts the cell, face and point zones
    from a list of zoneGenerators into a cellZone.
 
    If a cellZone with the same name as the cellZone to be generated is
    returned by a zoneGenerator in the list it is ignored.
 
    For faceZones the cells on either side of the faces are included in the
    cellZone.
 
    For pointZones the cells surrounding the points are included in the
    cellZone.
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required | Default value
        type         | Type: cell              | yes      |
        name         | Name of the zone        | no       | zoneGenerator name
        cellType     | Cell type selection option | no    | master
        moveUpdate   | Switch to update after mesh motion | no | false
    \endtable
 
    To convert faceZone named \c plane generated by
    \verbatim
        plane
        {
            type        plane;
            point       (0.5 0 0);
            normal      (1 0 0);
        }
    \endverbatim
    into a cellZone named \c planeCells, the following zoneGenerator can be used
    \verbatim
        planeCells
        {
            type        cell;
 
            plane;
        }
    \endverbatim
    or if the faceZone is not needed after the generation of the cellZone
    \verbatim
        planeCells
        {
            type        cell;
 
            plane
            {
                type        plane;
                point       (0.5 0 0);
                normal      (1 0 0);
            }
        }
    \endverbatim
