Class
    Foam::zoneGenerators::surface
 
Description
    A faceZone zoneGenerator which selects faces based on the intersection of
    a surface with the vector between the adjacent cell centres.
 
    The returned faceZone is oriented and provides the corresponding flipMap.
 
Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description              | Required | Default value
        type         | Type: face               | yes      |
        name         | Name of the zone         | no       | zoneGenerator name
        surface      | searchableSurface type   | yes      |
        tol          | cell-cell vector intersection tolerance | no | rootSmall
        moveUpdate   | Switch to update after mesh motion | no | false
    \endtable
 
    To create the faceZone \c baffles containing the faces based on the adjacent
    cell centres spanning the given triangulated surface:
    \verbatim
        baffles
        {
            type        surface;
            surface     triSurface;
            file        "baffles.obj";
        }
    \endverbatim
 
    To create the faceZone \c rotatingZone containing the faces based on the
    adjacent cell centres spanning the given cylinder:
    \verbatim
        rotatingZone
        {
            type        surface;
            surface     cylinder;
            point1      (0 0 0.54);
            point2      (0 0 0.66);
            radius      0.2;
        }
    \endverbatim
