    Hi Tamer,

     

    Do you have geometry?

     

    There is a script available which convets nodal thickness to PSHELL property. but his requires .fsthick file to run. As a work around you can edit the .fsthick for each elements and use the same for assigning the thickness.

    tamer,

     

    I was wandering if there is geometry available thickness could be mapped to nodes as nodal thickness (possibility).

     

    Can you check the script which I had posted in my previous post?
