Creating or Modifying Entities of Imported Meshes
The following mesh import operation nodes make it possible to define the partitioning of an imported mesh into domains, boundaries, edges, and points, with respect to the physics interface settings of the Component; to create domains, faces, edges, and vertices for an imported mesh; and to delete geometric entities from an imported mesh.
