I have a model that consists of both 2D and 3D elements.

There is a discontinuity in the stress results in the 3D elements adjacent to the joint between the 2D and 3D elements:

I'd like to refine the solid mesh near the interface. How can I locally refine the 3D elements?

    not an easy task.

    You could use the 'split' panel.

    But for your model, honestly, it looks easier to redo the mesh with refinement.
