Make sure to check your element quality in HyperMesh before running the analysis.
If you are using the geometry based approach, check for sliver surfaces. If using the mesh based approach, check for low quality surface elements before creating the tetra mesh.
There are also tools in HM that allow you to directly work on improving the tetra element quality. If needed you can use them too.
If you have geometries you are working with, you could use the inner and outer to create a solid for the concrete, and then tet or Hex mesh the concrete.
If you are working with shells, you can create a shell cap on the two ends and then use those enclosed volumes to create tet or hex meshes of the concrete.
Hope you can try these 2 options out.
