I was trying to block 3D corner inflation in ICEM using the same 2D approach discussed before in this thread, and now I believe that ICEM manual blocking approach is actually the best method for meshing this geometry, I have created this sample geometry for demonstration of the technique, however, I am unable to slice/merge the blocks on ICEM consistently to represent this geometry, I always end up with connectivity inconsistent with the geometry and/or degenerated blocks.

I went through the following:
1. slice the initial block into 9 blocks
2. delete block #7
3. merge block #5 and #8
4. merge blocks #6 and #9
5. associated edges and vertices accordingly

Thanks in advance

I can see you have made this video specifically as an answer for my question, thanks a lot for your efforts, and the video is very helpful indeed, I will try it on my full version geometry and let you know how it went with me.

Thanks again, best wishes
