For external aerodynamics it may be necessary to extend the far-field if it is not far enough away. It is not allowed to modify an enclosure since it must remain consistent with the solid. Removing the enclosure body from its component allows the user to modify the far-field, but then changes to the solid are not updated in the fluid. This solution satisfies both requirements.
