Hi

One way is to mesh that missing part (where black line are shown above) with shells and use there a coarse mesh. Finally use contacts to connect the shell to the surrounding 3D solid bodies shown in the image.

 

One can perhaps also use submodelling to study the part shown above in detail (perhaps directly or after the first step is done when the shell part can be removed).

All the best
