Hi everyone....
I am trying to construct 3D boundary for a hollow cyclinder of radii ri, ro and length along z-direction of L, and a full cyclinder inside the hollow sylinder of radius r<ri and length 3L. both parts ahve midplane at same position z=0. Please help anyone. Thanks.

I fail to see the point. If r<ri, then the two cylinders are decoupled, and could be run separately....

Nevertheless, if you define three layers, -3L/2,-L/2,L/2,3L/2 with both cylinders, then declare layers 1 and 3 VOID in the outer cylinder, you should get what you want.

Thanks for ur response to my question. I know it sounded a bit simplistic. Actually, the inner boundary of the hollow cylinder and outer boundary of the solid one are to be coupled in the boundary conditions section by a periodic BC to enforce continuity of temperature over a prescribed angle.
