Shell elements

Updated by Altair Forum User
Hello guys,
Can we give thickness to shell elements on one side only, instead of giving thickness to mid surface of the shell element?
Thanks.

For this requirement, please card edit PSHELL card and check the ZOFFS option under CONT.
You can now use the ZOFFS=TOP/Bottom option.

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

Hi Satish,
You can either use ZOFF in PSHELL card to offset elements or use Element Offset panel.
