Hi,
Simply make quad mesh on outer side and then use panel 2d>elem offset>solid layers to generate hexa mesh:

Thank you for your kindness.
In case of simple model, it's easy.
but I want to analysis welded part, so it's not simple because that model contain welded part.
Can you check my model out?
I attached file.
Many thanks.

With weld, it's also possible. But that needs a lot of work.

I try to divide mesh with a quarter of the the model as show in the attached figure.
So the first step is to make it mappable, but i don't know how to trim the weld part.
Do you have a good idea?
For reference, attach a quarter model.

make a layer of quads along the weld, then you can map solid elems following them

Thank you for all of comments.
Now I have another question.
As see the attached figure, mesh is not matching between two part.
Please let me know how to match them.
Thank you for your help all the time.

In order to match:
- The same number of element (nodes)
- The same 'bias' value
Maybe you can associate existing nodes to new solid/surface before mesh?

Hi Taehwan Um,
Try mapping elements in the reverse direction (Choose elements you want match as source elements).
Thank you
