Mid surface meshing

Hello,

I have created the mid surface of sheetmetal plate and have already meshed the mid surface with quad elements. In the geometry tab, I was able to give thickness to mid surface geometry. How can I apply the thickness to the elements in the mid surface mesh?

Thanks and regards!

Hi,

what 'geometry tab' are you referring to? Thickness is defined in the property that is assigned to the component.

I meant this Geom as geometry tab. Thanks for your input.

Now, I have created the property with respective thickness and assigned it to the component. Could you please tell me, if there is any way I can check whether the thickness has been assigned to the mesh elements? I do not see the 3D representation option in Hypermesh!

There are probably many methods to check the thickness assigned to elements. Display By Thickness:

You can also use the visualization toolbar (View>toolbars>Visualization) for the 3D representation.
