Default Copy Bunching to selected and parallel?

Hi everyone.

I'm reasonably new to ICEM and i'm trying to mesh a 58 fin heat sink.

I'm trying to copy an edge sizing from one edge to 56 other identical but non-parallel edges. This can be done easily through the "selected edges" option under match edges and copy bunching.

The problem is that these sizing are not automatically copied to the parallel edges of those 56 edges. On the original sizing I only had to select copy to parallel but this is not carried through to the edges via the copy bunching.

Does anybody know of a workaround or do I need to manually select those 56 edges and all their parallels when I copy the bunching (there is a lot of them as I've had to split the block numerous times )

Thanks for your help.

I'm not having much luck getting a reply so I've attached a picture that explains my problem.

Basically, I have created an edge parameter which is automatically copied to all the parallel edges... great.

Now I want to copy that edge parameter to another set of edges INCLUDING the parallel edges of this new set of edges.

I have tried doing this with the match edges>copy bunching option however this does not copy to the new parallel edges automatically. Is the only way to achieve my desired goal to manually copy to every parallel edge?

Any hints appreciated.
