I am modelling a composite structure using a combination of solid and shell elements. However, I want to be able to visualise the shell elements in the same way that I can visualise the solids during post-processing. Is it possible to project the element thickness on to the shell elements in Hyperview?

    You need to place the Property collector with varying thickness in respective component collector. Then request for Element Thickness in control cards.

    Now in HV, select the respective components and check for the Element Thickness. If you wish to have them queried you can refer to Query panel and find the respective values.
