Different Meshings for different Domains

Hello,
I am trying to understand how meshing works. In particular, I am trying to figure out how to make different size meshes for different domains in my project.
I have two 3D objects in my scene. One is very thin and requires a "Finer" meshing (Size node) and a z-direction scale of 4 (Free Tetrahedal node). The other object requires a "Coarse" meshing and scales of 1 on each axis (default).
What I would like to do is simply add (by right-clicking on "Mesh 1") a "Free Tetrahedal" node and "Size" node twice. So I should have 4 nodes under mesh:
- One "Size" node for which I select the domain 1: option "Finer"
- One "Size" node for which I select the domain 2: option "Coarse"
- One ""Free Tetrahedal" node for which I select the domain 1: option "z-scale 4", "x-y-scale 1"
- One ""Free Tetrahedal" node for which I select the domain 2: option "x-y-z scale 1"
But whatever I do, I always have one "Size" node that I cannot delete and I cannot even select which domains it applies to. What is that? I don't understand.
Thank you in advance for your help

Hi
If you submit the geometry (or the model) I can have a look at it. The first size definition is automatic, you cannot delete it, but the later definitions are overriding it, so you need not to care it at all.

Hello,
Oh I see. I hadn't understood that whatever I do afterwards is overwritten. It works fine then.
Thank you for your help!
Best,
Julia
