  2. Optional: Edit the default Name for the fluid section.
  3. Select a geometry support.

    A fluid section must be applied to a fluid domain object. You can click the glyph in the model to select the fluid domain.

    If the support you select already has a material assigned to it, the Material field displays the material that is applied to the support.
  4. Optional: If no material is assigned, or if you want to override the existing material assignment, do the following:
    1. Click .
      The Material Palette appears.
