  I made a model of cylinder/column within APDL (with Solid65). how can I meshing this column as same as pictures? Is it compatible this method with solid65?

  That can be done with eextrude,axis command (see apdl command reference for more info on that), but
  I do not recommend this mesh since one gets wedge/prism elements (@ cylinder centre) that are not great -
  Use swept mesh from one face to the other:
  See this example below where this is done.
  All the best
