Select elements by lines

Hi,

I have an airfoil geometry with a complex ply lay-up (ply model).

For some reasons I have to remesh this component so all sets of these plies will be automatically reset.

To update them I have created the edges of each ply and now I have to reselect the elements, following these edges.

How can I select elements by these edge lines?

Is there a method to project the edges on my mesh and then select the elements with their centroID placed inner the close line?

Thank you,

Alessandro
