How to mesh a part with solid and shell elements?

Emanuele Sorrentino

I need to create a mesh where the feature 1 is meshed as a solid and the 2 as shell (inside the same part)

you could just extract 'Midsurface' from feature 2, transforming it into a surface, and make sure it is connected to the base solid block. Then create you mesh for the blocks and later a shell mesh for your surface (General 2D mesh).

 

By making sure your midsurface is connected to the solid, the mesh will be created already sharing the nodes and connection.

Thank you. How to make sure the surface is connected to the solid?
