Multi-thickness on the same shell part

Altair Forum User

Hi to all,

 

I have a shell part divided into several thickness.

Is it possible to define several thickness on the same property. If yes how could I affect each thickness to its specific region in the same part.

 

Thank you for your response.

Hi,

 

for Nastran / Radioss bulk e.g., you can set a nodal thickness for every element (card editor).

Hi Mario,

 

Please tell me how can I create a node card and apply a thickness. Thank you

Hi Malick,

 

it isn't a node card, you have to input the values in the element.

 

Card editor->element->nodal thickness switch to on->nodal thickness for every node of the element

 

But you can also set a different property for every element. Go to Properties (icon) -> assign -> select element and property -> assign
