  I just generated uniform hex dominant mesh with size of 1mm^3, but when I check the nodes location of lower(z=0) and upper surface(z=0.01), it turned out that the x,y location of nodes of two surface were different. can someone help me with that?
  
  BTW, the following pictures are the details of my object.
  
  lower surface(z=0)
  
  upper surface (z=0.01)

  Hex Dominant does not guarantee a hex only mesh. Sweep does.
  
  Right click on Mesh in the Outline and Show Sweepable bodies. Does this body light up green? If not, you need to go into DesignModeler and Slice the body so all the different split lines initially on only one of the z faces are on both faces.
  
  You showed your geometry in this post and I gave you the same advice then as now. If you need help with Slicing, you can attach your model to your reply as a Workbench Project Archive.
