The undo operation requires that the name of the object exist when the action is undone. If the name does not exist, then the undo will fail. You can undo the last few operations, but if many operations are being performed it is recommended that you also save the mesh periodically.

boundary/separate/sep-face-zone-by-shapeSeparates a boundary face zone based on the shape of the faces (triangular or quadrilateral).
boundary/set-periodicityDefines the periodicity parameters. You will be prompted for the type of periodicity (rotational or translational). For rotational periodicity, you will be prompted for the angle and axis of rotation parameters. For translational periodicity, you will be prompted for the shift vector components.
boundary/slit-boundary-faceSlits a boundary face zone by duplicating all faces and nodes, except those nodes that are located at the edges of the boundary zone. A displacement can be specified to provide thickness to the boundary. The slit command only works when it is possible to move from face to face using the connectivity provided by the cells.
You should slit the boundary face after you generate the volume mesh so that cells will not be placed inside the gap. There may be some inaccuracies when you graphically display solution data for a mesh with a slit boundary in Ansys Fluent.
boundary/smooth-marked-facesSmooths the marked faces.
boundary/unmark-selected-facesUnmarks the marked selected faces.
