I opt to run my simulations in Ansys Fluent. I created a 2D grid\/mesh according to several guidelines. However, I want to extrude this 2D mesh with a height of 2.5D (diameter of cylinder, in this case 75mm) and divide the extruded part in 64 partitions. How can I do this? I read a few thing about using CFX-Pre and extend the mesh in Z-direction. This approach should prompt a question that allows for this extrusion and division of elements. However, this question does not pop-up in my CFX-Pre 2021. Is there another way to create a 3D mesh?<a class=\"wp-colorbox-image cboxElement\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/20-03-2023-1679324484-2d_structured_grid.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/20-03-2023-1679324484-2d_structured_grid.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1217\" height=\"627\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-275576","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-2d-mesh-1","topic-tag-2d-meshing-1","topic-tag-3d-mesh","topic-tag-3d-meshing"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["268729","62"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.44.170.21"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["3730"],"_edit_lock":["1679324601:198145"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["275576"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["62","268729"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["275884"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["275884"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-03-22 13:48:26"]},"test":"b-a-c-roijersstudent-tue-nl"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/275576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/275576\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=275576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
