Hello, I'm trying to create a block of a complicated geometry that has to have more than 8 vertices that the blockmesh understands as the hexagonal block. How do I do this?

Thank you!

If you can assemble your geometry using hexahedral blocks, then blockmesh is the tool for the job. Note, that blocks may also feature curved edges.


If your geometry is too complicated to be built-up from blocks, then you're better off using a different tool.
