sweep a tangential inlet from cylindrical surface in ANSYS Meshing

  I would like to be able to create a structured mesh for my cyclone, however I'm having trouble creating a swept mesh in the tangential inlet from the cylindrical surface as it will not allow me to apply that face. Perhaps the face has to be split to be the same size. Any tips to get this to work would be appreciated. (nb the tangential inlet is sweepable but the cylinder not).

  In image both bodies are meshed with sweep hex mesh correctly. So what exactly you need? nIt is a non conformal mesh. For conformal, you will need to do share topo in DM or SpaceClaim. nFor sweep meshing please check nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn

  Dear KeyurnThank you for your suggestions. However when I apply to share topology option as in the video it conflicts with the MultiZone used on the cylinder. I originally drew the geometry in solidworks should I redraw in DM?.Kind regards,nSeann

  You may need to slice the geometry in DM. nRegards,nKeyurnHow to access Ansys Online Help DocumentnHow to show full resolution imagenGuidelines on the Student CommunitynHow to use Google to search within Ansys Student Communityn
