Class
    Foam::zoneGenerators::difference
 
Description
    A zoneGenerator which selects the elements in the first zones generated by
    the given list of zoneGenerators and removes the elements which are in
    subsequent zones
 
    An difference faceZones is oriented if the first faceZones is oriented,
    otherwise the returned faceZone is unoriented.
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required | Default value
        type         | Type: difference        | yes      |
        name         | Name of the zone        | no       | zoneGenerator name
        zoneType     | Type of zone            | no       | all the zone types
        moveUpdate   | Switch to update after mesh motion | no | false
    \endtable
    These options are followed by a list of any number of zoneGenerators which
    can either generate the zones locally or return zones from the lists of
    zones held by the mesh using the zoneGenerators::lookup zoneGenerator.  The
    resultant zones are initialised by the first zoneGenerator in the list and
    then the zones generated by subsequent zoneGenerator are subtracted
    from them.
 
    Each zoneGenerator returns a zoneSet containing a pointZone and/or a
    cellZone and/or a faceZone, the zoneGenerators::difference operation
    combines each of the zone types unless the \c zoneType is specified in which
    case only the zones of that type are combined.
 
    A cellZone named \c coneNotAnnulus containing the with centres inside the
    predefined \c cone1 which is looked-up from the cellZoneList less the
    cells in locally defined annulus is be generated by
    \verbatim
        notConeOrAnnulus
        {
            type        difference;
 
            cone1;
 
            annulus1
            {
                type        annulus;
                zoneType    cell;
 
                point1      (-0.0075 0 -1);
                point2      (-0.003 0.0025 1);
                outerRadius 0.002;
                innerRadius 0.001;
            }
        }
    \endverbatim
