Is it possible to convert Nastran PCOMP to Radioss SH_SANDW?

Upon carrying out a conversion of a Nastran .bdf file to a Radioss .rad, information is lost along the way.

If a Component consists of multiple property assignments (properties assigned to elements), then all properties are lost.

If the bdf is reimported with Create Comps: By Property, then the PCOMPs convert to SH_SANDW with ply orientations and material assignment, but no thickness.

Is there something else that needs to be done to complete the conversion properly?
