You will see that I did many steps and there must be some better way of splitting the domain for hexa mesh. Also, the question is should there be a &quot;solid&quot; body under part tree so later one can identify it as a cylinder wall?<\/li>\n<li>As I have found out that the best hexa mesh can be obtained in ICEM, and also that ICEM can be used for FSI problems, the question is: is it better to make the geometry inside the DM or directly in ICEM?
