The elements you are exporting now (for a ship - shell elements I assume?) does probably not have reals defined because Ansys is moving towards using sections instead to represent thickness and possible layers of a plate.
If the above doesn't work (you can't get Workbench to export what you need) and you really need to use a special element type, you can create that in Classic by writing the following:
et, 200, 63 ! Element type no. 200 is defined as shell63
esel,s,ename,,181 ! selects elements of type Shell181
emodif, all, type, 200 ! modifies selected elements to type no. 200
I'm writing this from my head, so check that I got the commands right. Not sure how thickness properties will be converted though (you might have to do some extra work for that).
