Hi all,

I'm new in CFD, the only mesher I've ever used for the moment is blockMesh.
I've to mesh a case (posted on photo below) which is a kind of 9 repetition of a same shape (a pipe).


Here are my questions :

FIRST
I've already mesh a part of the geometry (one of the 9 pipes) with blockMesh. There's a photo below. I would like to know if there's a possibility with OpenFoam to copy/translate/rotate this mesh in order to make my entire mesh ?? (Because my external faces are squares, the merge should be possible...)

SECOND
Do you know if Gmsh can make 3d boudary layers in order to mesh my case ? I would like to make boundary layers on pipes then a tetrahedral on the rest of the domain.

Thank you for your help
