[ANSYS Meshing] mesh of pipe which inserted a wire coil in this pipe

Hi everyone

I want to do mesh like below figure but I dont know which type of mesh is suitable. I applied the hex dominant mesh sytle but as I did not want. Can you help me ?

Best wishes

You may try Multizone method, but I think it is unlikely you can do such mesh in AM.

Do you have any idea ? Gambit ?

Gambit is dead, isn't it? ICEM maybe. But it seems that mesh that you showed as an example is sliced somehow, so maybe if you slice your geometry you can do something in AM.

Dear Antanas,

I used sliced features in DM. I seperate 5 parts. This parts is done with using add frozen features but coil is sliced material. But I can not use sweep mesh, mapped mesh and inflation. Can you help me ? I attached the geometry and I showed the error faces.

Thank you

Mesh the front face and sweep it along the path of the coil.
