I'm looking to mesh a furnace geometry which has many burners attached to the side (most of which are identical). The basic workflow for an entirely blocked mesh would seem to be manual splitting of the blocks and then manual blocking of each portion (discarding extra blocks in the void spaces, associating, etc.). In my mind, the ideal workflow would be to be able to create a block for one of the burners and then replicate it across all of the others using transform copies. However, I can't seem to find a way to make that works cleanly with the central geometry/connecting faces.

For example in the attached images, I have a simple cube with four identical cylinders on one side. I can create the o-h grid for one cylinder, copy that to the other cylinders, and have an identical blocking on all sides. However, the transition from the small cylinder to the main cube is only valid on the first cylinder. Others have duplicate faces and other issues.

Is there a way to easily 'imprint' the copied block to make coincident faces match? I can't seem to find a way to do so but I am fairly new to ICEM and may just not know the workflow. Am I going about an impossible task and should just go through the manual process (keeping in mind that the burner geometry is obviously farm more complex than the cylinders in the example)?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
