blades are very close to each other at hub. is this real or still you have to remove the fillets?

I cannot put the periodic plan in that gap at the hub, let alone mesh it

Does any one has an idea how to handle such a close gap in ICEM? Can we the only single blade or we have to mesh full rotor due to geometric features?
