Mesh screen material/model - need help

So i'm trying to put a mesh screen on the front side of this antenna. I've done this by adding a material with transparancy to create the illusion of the mesh grid being there. But the material doesn't bend with the object as it should. Anyone have an idea why? or how i can solve this with maybe tweaking the material somehow?

I also tried to model this mesh screen but i honestly wouldn't know how to do this..

Hi, if you're using UVW Mapping for projection you should check if the UV coordinates are properly unwrapped, from the screenshots it looks more like a flat o frontal projection, so maybe the UV coordinates are messed up or not there at all.

If you need to simulate a projector you can try to project a texture with a light:
