At this point, I have a 3D fluid mesh, along with the structure that is
modeled with shell elements (so primarily a 2D structural mesh, which isn't
yet the bottleneck).

I don't necessarily care about whether it is 2D or 3D extraction, as long
as I can create a MeshFunction with it and use the system solution for data
transfer. I looked into the BoundaryMesh and BoundaryInfo::sync() method
and it seems to provide this functionality. Although I havn't had a chance
to look into how this BoundaryMesh would get associated with
a MeshFunction.

Is this what you had in mind?
Thanks,
Manav
