Thanks a lot for your help.
Probably it was my fault I might not explained the problem clearly.
The part that I want to mesh is the outside of the iron sheet, oposite as
the example you send me.
For the simulation the air flow between the limits and the iron sheet. Is
like the a square pipe that in one side has holes on it.

Thanks a lot again for your help, it was very useful
