Mesh mapping and connecting 2d and 3d mesh

Hello,

I have two components one of which is a shell and the other is a solid. Some protion of the shell surface overlaps with one face of the solid. Both have very complex shapes. How can I have the same mesh on the overlapping surfaces and connect these shell and solid elements? this is analogous to a plastic sheet (shell) reinforced by a thick layer of foam (solid). It will be great if it is possible to mesh the shell first and then the solid.

Thanks

Split overlap region & 2d mesh.If possible share screenshot of your model where you want matching mesh.

Thanks for your prompt answer. After splitting the region and 2D meshing the shell, how can I project this mesh onto the solid?

you can use project command to project elements to surface normal.

Well, I mean I want to have the same mesh on the solid surface as well.Can I do that using this projection method? I actually tried it but it does nothing for my case.
