Class
    Foam::blockEdges::arcEdge
 
Description
    An arcEdge between two points on a circle. The arc is defined either by a
    third point that the arc passes through, or by the angle of the sector and
    the axis of the circle.
 
    If the angle-axis specification is used, the axis may not be not
    perpendicular to the line connecting the end points. In that case, the axis
    is considered to be that of a cylinder, and the arc represents a portion of
    a helix on the surface of that cylinder.
