Translate Nodes of Shells in Offset direction

Zeus3

Hi, I have a short question:

Is it possible to translate nodes automatically in the direction of a defined offset in that way, that I get a shell without offest but relocated nodes.

For example: Shell t=5mm and offset=2.5mm. (the nodes are on the outer Side of the "Element").

Result: t=5mm and offset=0 but Nodes translated to the half of the "element" / Midplane).

 

I know, offset is easy to use and works fine. But in my case I have to avoid the offset option.

Greetings and thanks

Hello Arne,

may I ask you for the reason why you cannot use Offset your your specific use case? Indeed, our rst guess when reading (moving nodes along normal direction) would have been Offset.
