Make a Structured Mesh in Altair Hypermesh CFD

Description: Would love to create a strucutred mesh for later data exportation

Product/Topic Name : Altair Hypermesh CFD 2024.1.0.30

Im doing a project where I use the Inlet and a plane far behind a model data to calculate the aeroydnamic forces and Drag/Lift coefficient based on Navier-Stokes equations integral form.
Already did a simulation but found out that as I'm using the usual meshing method I get unstructured data and its impossible to use this data with the method im using. So I was wondering how could I create a structured mesh so I dont have this problem, if it isnt possible I could just export lines of data with Rake function in Post-Processing but for now I'd rather avoid that.
I only need a structured mesh behind the body and in front of it for data, the model can have unstructured data if it may cause troubles.

    Probably not something currently supported.

    If you're using AcuSolve, the Integrated Surface Output already provides the integrated force components, from which you can derive the drag/lift coefficients. You coul also use the acuLiftDrag script/tool:
