to generate mesh for a drilled cylinder with Hex solid elements

[LearnerAbq]

Dear All,

I have faced a meshing problem. I would like to mesh a hollow cylinder which has two holes on its surface. I have to use Hex solid elements but I can not generate a swept mesh or so by partitioning! It doesn't matter which software I use. I need the text file of the elements. What should I do? I appreciate your answers in advance.

The screenshot is from Ansys, how does it look like in Abaqus after partitioning ? By default color code indicates which type of mesh can be applied (orange - unmeshable, pink - free meshing, yellow - swept meshing, green - structured meshing). You may have to change the technique in Mesh Controls dialog box.
