Thanks for the reply.

1) Extending the surface changes the design, right? which can have effect on the solution output?

I do understand that solid elements don't have rotational stiffness but what I want to understand is:

2) Does shared topology transfer the effect of 3 ROT DOFs of Shell elements to solid ? Or does bonded contact provides the same? just want a clarification so that following this, I can ask the query related to bonded contact.

If possible, can you reply pointwise? it would be helpful in easy understanding of answer.

Thank you
