Hi everyone,

I am having troubles fixing my hexa mesh to stick to the symmetry plane surface (see pictures). The problem arises when I replace the circular backwardfacing step geometry with a slope and it results in this hole in the mesh on both sides.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Is it a blocking problem? Or will I have to try to set up a hybrid mesh with a tetra part for the slope?
Unfortunately I couldn't find any help in tutorials or other threads. I also checked that the blocks are well associated at these edges.

Any help is much appreciated! I can also provide files when needed.

Thank you,
Dave
