regular cfx-mesh

Hi, I've been trying to create a mesh for a rectangular duct using cfx-mesh. I want the mesh to be made up of rectangular elements (if i was using ansys to create the mesh I'd use the hexagonal and mapping options), does anyone know how to do this using cfx-mesh? Thanks in advance, Kieran

CFX Mesh only makes tetra/prism meshes. It is possible to get some hex elements by doing a 2D extrusion of an inflation layer, but it is not possible to have a fully structured, mapped hex mesh. You need to use ICEM Hexa for that.

CFX 11 can! See plot.
