about polyDualMesh "Try something smaller than 90"

I typically use something between 45 and 80 depending on the tet mesh resolution on highly curved surfaces. This might be the root of your problem. Looking at my picture the curved surface in the middle would (wrongly) be treated as a corner if the feature angle was set to some 30 deg. Here I used 75 degrees, but anything abowe 45 usually works. In your case virtually no corners are treated as such.

I often use Gambit or T-grid for tet/hex + tet-prism b-layer mesh generation and then convert the mesh using polyDualMesh. The result is in the picture.

Good luck!
