How to transfrom a 2D shrink wrap mesh to 3D mesh (Hypermesh, Optistruct))

Hi everyone,

 

I am using the shrink wrap tool to mesh stl files representing foot bones. However when I directly use the 3D hexa mesh of this tool, the shape of the bone is not well respected.

When I use the 2D mesh of the shrink wrap tool, the 'envelop' of the bone is correct but I cannot find a way to 3D mesh from the 2D mesh (I don't manage to make the Solid Map effective).

 

Could anyone help me transforming the 2D mesh into 3D mesh ?

 

Thanks in advance !

    Here are pictures of one these bones I am working on:

     

    The initial component:

    The same component once meshed in 2D (and cleaned up):

    Please check for mesh pull down menu> cleanup element> smooth option

    Check video for (Meshing:Improve Element Quality with Smoothing)

    Thanks for your suggestion, but how can I obtain a 3D mesh from a 2D mesh (made with the shrink wrap tool) ?
