How to specify anisotropic meshing for volumes and surfaces in Hyper works CFD

Thank you acupro for your reply.

Is there any alternate method to specify mesh differently in 3 directions, it is helpful for achieving fine mesh for heat sink type of components (along length we can specify large element size, in between fin spacing specify the small element size)

Or it is helpful if there is an option for extrusion mesh?

HyperWorks CFD does have extrusion meshing functionality, and you would need to split the bodies into extrudable portions - if not already extrudable.

The meshing in HyperWorks CFD are all based on isotropic elements - nothing for anisotropic meshing yet.
