    When you create the ply you will get the option to select the elements which are in that particular ply. You can create two plies likewise.

    Hello.

    I cannot find the window you show here. Which Hypermesh version are you using ?

    I have HyMesh v14.0

    Thanks I found i.

    So I can create 2 different plis in the same layer and give them different properties, isn't it?

    Together with that, can the 2 plys I create be one next to the other or do we also have to leave the Minimum gap we leave beween the plis in the Dry modelisation ?

    Thank you very much
