For this requirement, please card edit PSHELL card and check the ZOFFS option under CONT.

 

 

 

 

You can now use the ZOFFS=TOP/Bottom option.

Kindly note that this change in thickness assignment cannot be visualized.

 

 

 

 

 

To do the same in 13.0, please watch the attached video

 

 

 

 

 

 

Could you please explain, how to achieve the same in Ansys User Profile?

    Hi,

     

    Card edit the SHELL Property and you can change the SECOFFSET

    What is the card image that you've shown? I'm not getting this SECOFFSET option in any card image under the type SHELL of Ansys user profile.

    Also I'm using HyperWorks 10.1. Is this because of the older version, I'm unable to get this?

    Prashanth,

     

    I am using 14.0 and the type of property is SECTYPE. Go to Property>> for CARD IMAGE>> choose SECTYPE

    That's the problem. There is no such card image in v10.1

     

    These are all I have.1.jpg
