Abaqus Shell Thickness Question?

Abaqus Shell Thickness Question?

Abaqus Shell Thickness Question?

(OP)
I am modeling a cold form steel shell element in Abaqus and I have to apply different thicknesses to it. My question is how does Abaqus apply the thickness? What I mean is does it extrude half the total thickness on each side of the element or extrude the full thickness in one direction? And can it be specified?

Thank You

(OP)
I forgot to add something also.

I am goign to be using S9R5 meshing and I have read up online that CAE can do ti but you have to bring up FEMGEN in CAE to actually apply that meshing to it since its not a typical mesh option. I was just wondering if anybody has had experience with this and knows how to get FEMGEN to come up and mesh it.

structvt,

Have you tried posting this to the ABAQUS forum on Eng-Tips?  In fact, the question may already be answered within the archives of that forum...
