associating nodes to solids?

I need to associate the nodes of the inner box mesh to the outer solid so when I mesh the outer solid, it follows the mesh of the inside part. The associating tab only let me select the solids one by one. i was wondering if I can select all the elements of inner box mesh and associate them to each solid? or I have to select only the nodes that are in touch with the solid to associate them. I mean what will happen if I try to associate a node that is not in touch with a solid to that solid?

 

thanks

    `Hi,

    What is your end objective? Do you want to mesh the remaining vacant portion with hex mesh?

    Sort of. The outer box is not mappable and it has to connect the fine mesh of inner box to a coarse mesh. So I think the best option is tetrameshing.

     

    Thanks,
