Does anyone know how or does anyone have a script that will offset all shell elements by half the thickness on the property card. I am creating a shell mesh on the OML tool surface for a composite layup with PCOMP cards.

Thanks

    Not sure if that works with PCOMP as well, but maybe have a look at 2D > elem offset > shell offset (option 'distance = 1/2 element T').
