In APDL you could mesh the surface of the RCC elements with shells using the ESURF command. The shells would share nodes with the solid elements so would be fully connected. Typical commands would be:
nsel,s,ext  ! select the nodes on the exterior of the RCC elements
type,2Â Â Â Â ! shell type number
secnum,2Â Â Â ! shell thickness number
mat,2Â Â Â Â Â Â ! shell modulus number
esurf     ! create shell element with the selected nodes
