HyperMesh automatically maintains legal connectivity to shell elements that are adjacent to those that are split.

If the refined elements are attached to a surface, HyperMesh makes sure that the new elements are also attached to the same surface.  If they are not, HyperMesh infers a surface from the mesh, and positions the new nodes so that they fall on the implicit surface.
