Hi

Suppose, for side crush of a car, after performing the analysis(Create mesh, define MAT, Prop, Contact ,.....  I will Decide to change the thickness of some sheet's, so , I should define offset for Sheet's that have a change in thickness and then i should change some parameter's such as Contact, Spot weld , ....

Therefor, in analyzing a car that includes many hundreds of mesh, These changes will be very time consuming and costly.

Is there a good solution in this regard?

    Hi Korosh

     

    If you are using shell elements then you can change the thickness value from the PSHELL property, which will not make much time.

    Hi,

    It is time consuming when you go for each part. Unfortunately there is no other option available in HM or HC.

    The only way is to create a script for this. With customization you can do these steps very easily.

     

    Best Regards,
