How does Delft3D-FM handle cells inside dry areas?

Hey all,
I have been reading the Flow-manual, but could not find an answer to below question.
So I was wondering if D-Flow will use the cells inside dry areas for the computations (require additional computational time) or whether it will skip them?
The background of the question: I have a urban model grid with many elements (around 3 million, of which 1 million lie inside of structures which i either want to delete or define as dry areas) but try to reduce the number of grid cells that are used for the computations. Basically I want to reduce the required time for a simulation.
Many elements fall inside of structures which should not bet considered. I only want to make sure that the momentum exchange between the wall and the flow is used. My current approach is to delete cells inside the structures while keeping at least one grid cell inside the structure polygons that will have the elevation of the building and make sure that there will be momentum exchange between the structures and the flow. When deleting cells inside the structures in the triangular mesh, this effects the orthogonality of the grid negatively, which cannot be resolved as I found here: https://oss.deltares.nl/web/delft3dfm/general1/-/message_boards/message/3753167
Thank you,
Julius

Dear Julius,
I did run a 2D model in the past with both scenarios, with and without dry areas. The model output (.map) with dry areas is smaller. Also, the grid topology looks different in that area (when you look at it with quickplot or QGIS).
Is not a direct answer, but hope it helps.
Have a nice day,
Sebastian.

Dear Michal, dear Sebastian,
thank you very much for your comments and explanations. That answers my question indeed.
Best, Julius
