Hi all,

I would like to create a domain with a subdomain that I can later add momentum sources to. But I don't want this subdomain to be meshed separately.

It's inside the larger domain and I would like that to be meshed as if the the subdomain did not exist. I created the bodies using Slice Material and then creating a part from those two bodies, but then when I mesh it Ansys tries to conform to the subdomain instead of ignoring it.

EDIT: I may have found a solution, but I don't know how elegant it is. I do another extrude of the subdomain, but unite this to the whole domain with a boolean operation. Now I have 2 bodies, one is the subdomain and one the whole domain, and when meshing the subdomain is ignored. Don't know if it will work for solving though

EDIT2: Previous solution doesnt' really work, the domains are regarded as independent.
