Class
    Foam::zoneGenerators::cylinder
 
Description
    A zoneGenerator which selects points, cells or faces with centres either
    inside or outside a cylinder.
 
    By default all the points, cells or faces of the mesh are tested for being
    inside or outside the cylinder but an optional single zone or list of zones
    may be provided and those points, cells or faces are tested instead.  This
    provides an efficient method of hierarchical sub-division of space where an
    initial selection of points cells or faces is refined by selecting the
    sub-set inside or outside the given cylinder rather than having to generate
    another zone to intersect with.
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required | Default value
        type         | Type: cylinder          | yes      |
        name         | Name of the zone        | no       | zoneGenerator name
        zoneType     | Type of zone            | yes      |
        select       | Select either the inside or outside | no  | inside
        moveUpdate   | Switch to update after mesh motion  | no  | false
        point1       | First point on cylinder axis        | yes |
        point2       | Second point on cylinder axis       | yes |
        radius       | Radius of the cylinder              | yes |
        zone         | Optional zone to sub-set            | no  |
        zones        | Optional list of zones to sub-set   | no  |
    \endtable
 
    A cellZone named \c cylinder1 containing the cells with centres inside
    a cylinder is generated by
    \verbatim
        cylinder1
        {
            type        cylinder;
            zoneType    cell;
 
            point1      (-0.0075 0 -1);
            point2      (-0.003 0.0025 1);
            radius      0.001;
        }
    \endverbatim
