Hi

I have a geometry where I want to create a hybrid mesh. There are 36 cylinders all oriented differently but about the same size. I want to create a volume mesh in the 36 cylinders of the same size and type (tet preferred). The problem is that the cylinders are spaced apart from each other and linked to a common geometry which has a mesh of its own.

Is it possible to mesh the cylinders all together in one go? or do i have to create separate body names for each cylinder and then mesh each one individually?
I tried meshing it in one go and the model states I have holes in the model as expected! I want each cylinder volume to be water tight but each cylinder is separated and i don't need a mesh in between.
