Assigning thickness to the shell element inwardly

RAMGANESH

Dear Sir,

 

i have done 2d mesh to my model and created shell element and i wanted to assign thickness to it inwardly.

 

Problem is when i am assign thickness it takes as mid surface and assigning thickness equally on both inward and outward.

 

Kindly provide your guidelines

 

Thanks

Hi,

Use 'Card edit' on the toolbar, select all element, config and click 'edit' 

on the card panel activate 'offset' and enter z-off value to half of your thickness

 

you should better to make 2d mesh on midsurface (geom>midsurface)
