Question How to Non-conformal mesh

Hello, I'm trying to generate a good quality hexahedral mesh for a relatively simple but large domain shown in the image below using the ICEM CFD:

The problem is that I need a really fine grid near the cubes and If I use a conformal mesh, number of cells within the entire domain will be much higher than i can handle.
So I'm wondering if there is any way to make a structured non-conformal mesh for my problem using ICEM CFD. Something like the picture below:

I've had this problem for a while now so any help would be much appreciated
Thanks.


P.S. I'm pretty new to ICEM and couldn't find my answer elsewhere, but I have been using GAMBIT for mesh generation for quite sometime.

What you show is a Cutcell-type of mesh. You cannot generate this using ICEM.
Within ANSYS, you can only generate this type of mesh using the mesher inside Fluent. Also, you can only use this mesh in Fluent. CFX won't eat it because of so-called hanging nodes.
