The next step in creating the domain will be adding dimensions. In the Sketching Toolboxes window, select Dimensions > General. First, click the left segment of the upper surface edge of the rectangle, then click off off of the geometry drag the cursor to place the dimension above the line. Repeat this process for the right segment of the upper surface of the rectangle, then the left surface of the rectangleedge. Last, dimension the left edge as shown below.

We can set the dimension in the Details View window. In the Details View window, change H1 to 5.76, H2 to 2.88, and V3 to .06. You can zoom in/out using the middle mouse wheel. You can move the dimensions by selecting Dimensions > Move and then dragging the labels by grabbing them with the mouse.

Surface from Sketches

To finish the domain, we must create a surfaceRecall that we need to create a 2D "Surface Body" from the sketch. To accomplish this, click look to the top menu and select Concept > Surfaces From Sketches.

in the menu bar. Next, click any edge on the sketch in the Graphics window. This will select the corresponding sketch. In the Details View window, select Base Objects > Apply. Now the program knows from which sketch to create the surface.

Click . Next, click Generate to create the surface. The geometry of the domain, if you have followed the tutorial successfully, should look like this:
