To use a domain only for mesh control, on the Geometry toolbar, from the Virtual Operations menu (), select Mesh Control Domains (). Then enter the properties of the operation using the following sections:

Select the domains that you want to use for mesh control in the Graphics window. They then appear in the Domains to include list. If the geometry sequence includes user-defined selections above the Mesh Control Domains node, choose Manual to select domains, or choose one of the selection nodes from the list next to Domains to include.

Click the Active button to toggle between turning ON and OFF the Domains to include selections.

The operation removes the selected domains by composing them with adjacent domains. The faces (3D only) and edges in between are removed from the geometry but become available when you build the mesh. You can, for example, use a mesh control domain to partition the geometry to make it possible to sweep a hexahedral mesh.
