Hi all,

I have done mid surfacing for a solid model and I have deleted the solid .Now if i would like to see the thickness of the mid surface and the direction in which the thickness is associated please help me out in finding that feature in Hypermesh 2025 version

Hello SHIVA175,

Assigning thickness directly to the midsurface is not possible. If you wish to review the generated midsurface in your case, please reimport the solid geometry. You may use the Map Thickness tool to apply thickness to the elements automatically from the geometry. For more details, please refer to the resources below,
