Is there a way to stop hypermesh from exporting the ZOFFS entry in the PSHELL card or shell element?

Hey guys,

I am currently looking for a way to stop hypermesh v 2025.1 from exporting the ZOFFS entry from the shell element of CQUAD4 type. I am using MSC Nastran as the solver interface.

I have read another query where the solution was to deactivate the ZOFFS entry in the element entity directly. This solution only works if you element count is small but in my case, I have almost 400000 CQUAD4 elements and for which I cannot just deselect the ZOFFS entry using this approach.

Is there another efficient way of resolving this issue?

Thanks in advance and cheers,

Daivik

you can uncheck bulk entities like I mention in the link. But if ZOFFS is enable in an entity, there is no way to stop it from exporting. You need to disable the option
