Hi,

I have a question/bug report. When I'm using poly-hexcore meshing in Fluent Meshing (auto-mesh option) I can not specify number of buffer layers when I'm generating mesh for the first time. Please take a look at the picture below.

Which version you are using?
Did you see same behavior for only hexcore?
Do you have any volumetric regions meshed before using Auto Mesh?

I'm using 2020R2 version of standalone Fluent Meshing (not in Workbench). I've only encountered this in hexcore options. When I follow this steps:
surface mesh -> compute volumetric regions -> auto mesh I get this behavior. If there is volume mesh generated and I delete it, and use auto mesh again I can change this parameter. I also encountered this behavior in 2019 releases.

Make sure you have change volumetric region type to fluid.
Also please check 2021R1.

Sorry for the trouble, I was in error. It turns out that you can set volume fill options if size field is not computed. If it is, fluent meshing uses it for the calculations of volumetric sidizings. My mistake.
