Local remesh

Hi,
This is my first thread and I'm new to the software, so this question may sound too silly.
So, here it goes: I have this extruded shape that I'll convert to 2D after meshing. In this shape (a slice of a tube) I'm just putting the initial condition equal to the analitical solution and solving it to compare some meshes. I want to refine my polyhedrical mesh in the center because it is the most problematic area, or at least get a mesh that is smaller on the center and grows to the boundary. I went searched for hours the tutorial and online, but no results. Any ideas on how to do it?

Have you looked into volume refinement regions?

Yes, I found them. I just managed to do it on my own.

I'll leave my solution here:
Created a volume shape, a cylinder that passes through my region and then added a volumetric control in the mesh continuum. There I changed the mesh parameters.

Thanks anyway for your reply
