Hallo everybody!

My concern as follows:

I have created a simple 2D Hexa Mesh in ICEM. Now I want to extrude this mesh along a guiding curve, which is normal to the surface of the mesh. In that manner, I try to mesh a serpentine cooler with a lot of bending. Creating a blocking topology is much more time consuming, I think.

What I've tried:
I made a 3D Blocking from 2D (10mm in Y-Direction). Then I used Extrude Face(s) -> Extrude Along Curve along curve, but I can't select all the curves for extrusion. So, how can I extrude along the whole curve?

Does anybody has a hint for me?

Thank you very much!

Daniel
