Partitioning a Domain

Hi,
I have created a 3D geometry that after generation becomes one domain. Now I want to assign initial values for part of the domain so I can use that for my transport solver of diluted species.
The geometry is curved and I cannot simply cut and split it by a 2D plane. I was thinking if there is anyways that I select surfaces or vertices on the geometry that can be used to split the domain into folds (Expressing the initial values by spatial function would be a heavy task because of the complicated geometry, heavier than making two separate geometries from scratch) .
Any advice please.

Hello,
You could partition using a working plane aligned with a face, for example.
If you cannot partition with a working plane because you need a curved surface to make the partition, you could first create a geometric object, and then partition using the object; in the attached file I've used a cylinder as the partitioning object.

Thanks! That solved it.
