Create a circle onto 3D mesh

Dear Fellow community,

I'm struggling to find a solution like below and wondering if someone can me help me. I prepared an organic shaped geometry (human head) with 3D tetrahedral mesh (no surface) and now like to make a circle onto it (like the image below) with the radius of 20mm. After making this circle, I'll use it as a separate domain to apply boundary condition. But I have no idea how to do this as I'm new user of hypermesh. I'd be grateful if someone can help me.

Thanks.

    Chironjeet, You could do this in the following steps:

    1: Generate faces (2D mesh) from your 3D mesh

    2: Delete your 3D mesh, keep the faces

    3: Create a 2D circle mesh at the location of your choice

    4: Imprint the 2D circle mesh on to the head geometry.

    5: recreate your 3D mesh.

    I'm sure there are other ways too, but this is one that came to my mind.
