Summary0004238: add the ability to define the cellzone using the insidePoints entity in snappyHexMesh
Descriptionwhen making multiRegion cases with snappyHexMesh the surfaces between regions should be separate from other and they should explicitly be set with a faceZone, cellZone, mode and insidePoint for each one of them like this:

cylinder_to_air
{
    level (0 0);
    cellZone cylinder;
    faceZone cylinder_to_air;
    mode insidePoint;
    insidePoint (0.02 0 0.01);
}

instead a better way would be to define the name of the cellZone in the castellatedMeshControls/insidePoints entery like this


insidePoints
(
    (( 0.02 0.02 0.02) cylinder)
    (( 0.2 0 0) air)
);

this is a lot easier and faster to set up
the faceZone will be determined by the naighbore cellZones so the faceZone between cylinder region and air region will be cylinder_to_air

Are you working on an implementation for this or planning to fund the development?

I tried to look at the code for snappyHexMesh but I do not understand it (I am not good in coding)

but I thought I can make a feature request and if someone who understand the code think it is a good idea and he is welling to help then he can add the feature
