How to retain original geometry (partially) and redraw (rest)?

I would like to (after optimization) keep the original geometry in the red boxed section and redraw the section in black circle by keeping the outer faces intact (e.g. radius). Using PolyNURBS is getting this hard to achieve. How can I do this?

Thanks!

    Could anyone please suggest a way? It's part of my PhD thesis.

    Hello,

    A possible solution is to define design and non-design spaces on your part. So you have always the original geometry of non-design spaces and can easily use PolyNurbs for the design space parts.
