    Hi,

    As Tinh told Map Mid-Mesh Thickness Tool is available in HyperMesh.

    HI

    Thank you rahul, but in my case its not mid mesh, outer surface is meshed and need to measure the distance between element and opposite surface and the element need to moved to the collector accordingly (manually ) need to automate it.
