Use your RMB (Right Mouse Button) on Mesh, and select inflation. There, first select the volume and secondly the walls you want to inflate.
This is a very basic question. Did you do any tutorial? |

I'm sorry; maybe I didn't describe it clearly.
First, I emphasis the volume mesh is prism, inflation is hex. I want to use Mutizone method, and found its failure |

Given the complexity and size of your model, you would be better of using Poly-hexcore meshing in Fluent meshing, you are spending too much of you time in ansys meshing. But generally, a combination of inflation and multi-zone should help you make this mesh. But again, it would be time taking and complex. |

I think it should be possible using Multizone, but your geometry should be very clean. The mesher prefers sweepable bodies. It you don't have them, then you'll have a hard time.
Also, dedicated meshers like ANSA can generate better meshes than the general purpose mesher in Workbench. |
