Meshing a Circular Face by Mapping it

Hello.
I'm trying to generate a certain mesh for a circular geometry. The solids I am modeling are helical wires conforming a cable (one straight central fibre and two layers of wires around it). I want to map the sections of each wire but I have no clue how. I've looked everywhere on the internet but there's no explicit explanation on how to do it. I generated the geometry in AutoCAD and imported it to ANSYS 15 and then opened the project in ANSYS 17.2. I would love if you can help me on what to do with each circular face in order to get the meshing I need. This is the meshing I'd like to achieve: Regards. |

But to get what's on picture you can split geometry to pieces and use Sweep method. |

Thank you for replying. I get what you suggest. The second option (splitting and a sweep method) sounds reasonable but I'm not sure how to achieve that. Regards. |

Mesh the quarters in the numbered sequence. You can record the meshing sequence using meshing worksheet, so that you can replay the same sequence automatically next time you mesh. |

Is there a way to tell the program that the nodes in one body (that comes from one of the fibres of the cable) that is adjacent to another one node in the opposite face are the same? Is there a way to, through the mshing, discard all the internal faces of the divisions of each body? I know I can just make all those connection as Bonded but still that is more CPU usage. Best regards. |

Try using node merge under mesh edit tool
