Mesh of a cylindrical composite pressure vessel

      I'm trying to create a uniform mesh at the hemispherical dome of a cylindrical pressure vessel. I want 34 elements in the lonqitudinal direction of the dome and 88 circumferentially so I apply the appropriate number of divisions at the below edges with the tool of edge sizing and hard behavior.

      The 34 elements longitudinally

      The 88 elements circumferentially ( 22 at each of the four edges circumferentially)

      I also apply mapped face meshing but the result of the mesh is not uniform. This is my result.

      And this is the result that I have to achive.

      How can I fix my mesh in order to be uniform? Thank you in advance for your help!

      Hey, please try meshing with by splitting as shown below:

      To define longitudinal elements, insert the multi-zone method and face sizing. And then define the intervals.

       

      Thanks,
