Ideas needed: Hexahedron Mesh Refinement?

Greetings everyone,

I am doing an Explicit Dynamics Analysis of the Charpy Impact Test.
Due to the high number of Elements and thus a long processing time, I am trying to improve the mesh.

Is it possible to achieve a uniform refinement using Hex elements such in the image below within Ansys Workbench?

The 2nd Image shows the best result I got so far. I would like to apply the method shown in the image above to the middle of the part and get a fewer element number going toward the side edges.

I would highly appreciate your help.
Thank you very much in advance for your answers!
