Wrap 2d shape to 3d curved solid

Hi everyone,

 

This is my first post here, and I don't know if my exact issue is already posted here.

Here's my problem. I was given a 2d shape with a "shell" shapped pattern (see attached) wich I have to model to a curved panel with the same dimension as the one given.

The intended result is to wrap the 2d on the 3d, and convert the "shell" shapes into holes, each one perpendicular to the curved panel. 

I have seen this done on Inventor, with the bend command, and other similar cad softwares, but my company is using good old autocad (currently 2018 version), so I'm kinda stuck on how to get the end result.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

@SEANT61, true, there are some shells that are smaller. but for the purpose of my main question, I did not mention that difference.

Hello leeminardi,

I know this is an old post, but in case you're still around, can you indentify any other program where bending a 2d profile into a defined curved surface is easy as just using a simple command? I have a project in hands where I have the details in 2D to be carved in a curved surface and a command like that would be amazing.
