For example, using the Sweep mesh method, you would need to slice the part below into five bodies as
shown to obtain a pure hex mesh:

MultiZone Meshing

• Based on blocking approach (ANSYS ICEM CFD Hexa)
• Automatically decomposes geometry into blocks
• Generates structured hexa mesh where block topology permits
(a) Remaining region filled with unstructured Hexa Core or Tetra
or Hexa dominant mesh
• Src/Trg Selection

(a) Automatic or Manual source selection
(b) Multiple source faces
(c) Select Target faces as “Source”
• Compatible with 3D Inflation

MultiZone Mesh Type

• Hexa
(a) Default
(b) Only Hexahedral elements are generated
• Hexa/prism

(a) For quality and transition, triangles will be inserted on the
surface mesh (sources)
• Prism
(a) Only prisms will be generated
(b) Useful when the adjacent volume is filled in with tet mesh
