Is there a way to extend my geometry after I've made all the blocks?
 
Hi everyone.
I'm currently working with a 3D geometry of a pipe with a perpendicular injection, and an expansion. I've already made all the blocks, and I need to extend it, so that a region that has 3m, now would be 10m long, maintaining all the other dimensions. Is there a way to do it so I don't need to remake all the previous steps, shuch as blocking? I have several steps saved before converting it to unstruct mesh. Thanks!!

You can extrude a surface mesh.
In the menu Edit Mesh, there is a buitton that allows you to do this.
You need to
1) select the elements to extrude
2) define a name for the Volume, for the part with side elements, and for the part containing the new elements at the end.
3) define the number elements in extrude direction and size of each element and growth factor.
4) Press apply.
