  You should bring just the midsurface into DesignModeler and use the Enclosure tool to create the enclosure.

  To append Peter's comments, in DesignModeler, once you create Enclosure for the Midsurface, it will have two bodies in the tree - one surface body and one solid body. You will need to select those two bodies, right click and Form New Part.
  
  This will enable Shared Topology between them. And once you take it to Mesher, there will be single solid body with imprinting of Midsurface in it.
