Note that partitioning a mesh can modify the number of geometric entities. Thus when you are adding this operation to a meshing sequence that is conforming with the component’s geometry, a new meshing sequence that is defining its own geometric model is automatically created, and the Partition with Ball node is added to this new sequence. For more information, see The Mesh Node.
