I have hex elements as shown

after meshing instead of 2 columns , i have a requirement of 3 columns then using SPLIT option under 3D page i did split in given node direction(red line)

i have 3 columns now ,but the average length is not adjusted (bigger and smaller length elements)

 

Question: how to adjust its average length of elements allover thickness image

like this 

is this possible in hm 

apart from remapping with given number of layers

    Satya,

    I'm guessing your actual model has more going on, but for what you show, it seems you could just distribute temp nodes and use the move tool to pop the layers into position.

    yes my model has more going on

     

    the procedure can be applied only when you have plane elements simple parts , what if there is complex part and with uniform thickness and there are fillets 

    i am looking in this aspect
