When I create mesh on the following cylinder, it creates mesh on all the surfaces including the curved surface. But, I do not want to create any mesh on the top and bottom surface.

SetFactory("OpenCASCADE");
Point(1) = {0,0,0,0.5};
Point(2) = {1,0,0,0.5};
Point(3) = {0,1,0,0.5};
Point(4) = {-1,0,0,0.5};
Point(5) = {0,-1,0,0.5};
Circle(1) = {2,1,3};
Circle(2) = {3,1,4};
Circle(3) = {4,1,5};
Circle(4) = {5,1,2};
//creates a full circle
Line Loop(5) = {1,2,3,4};
Plane Surface(6)={5};
//creates the cylinder
Extrude {0,0,0.01} {
Surface{6};
}//+
//the curved surface
Physical Surface("side") = {7, 8, 9, 10};
