Thank you for your kindness.
In case of simple model, it's easy.

I attached file.
Many thanks.
With weld, it's also possible. But that needs a lot of work.
I try to divide mesh with a quarter of the the model as show in the attached figure.
So the first step is to make it mappable, but i don't know how to trim the weld part.
Do you have a good idea?
For reference, attach a quarter model.
You have to SPLIT more !

make a layer of quads along the weld, then you can map solid elems following them
Thank you for all of comments.
Now I have another question.
As see the attached figure, mesh is not matching between two part.
Please let me know how to match them.
Thank you for your help all the time.
In order to match:
Maybe you can associate existing nodes to new solid/surface before mesh?
Hi Taehwan Um,
Try mapping elements in the reverse direction (Choose elements you want match as source elements).
Thank you
