I would like to create a hybrid mesh containing tetrahedral and polyheral cells. Hoe can that be done In Fluent? Do I have to use a different software such as Ansys Meshing?

I was able to use Local Sizing feature and have different regions with different cell size range and growth rate but they all contain same type of cells. I am looking to create different regions with different cell types as recommended in a journal article.

Thanks.

The video you shared only briefly shows selection of poly-hex core but there is no such option for tetrahedral- polyhedral hybrid mesh. The video also doesn't show how to assigned a specific mesh type to a specific region. 

can you share the location where this functionality is addressed in the manual. Thanks.

You can not create tet + poly in Fluent Meshing. You can go ahead with only poly.
