3D elements are shown like two shell surfaces!!!!!
(OP)
Hi guys,
I have a problem in showing my model in abaqus. I used 3D element to show some layers but whenever I cut my model it is shown like two shell layers with a space between them!!!! I need its picture for my paper but I don't know how to create it. Its pictures are attaches.
Thank you in advance for your help.

RE: 3D elements are shown like two shell surfaces!!!!!
If so, I am even more confused. However, typically, graphical issues may simply be related to how well ABAQUS works with your graphics card. You can play with View Graphics Options, Assembly Display Options, and Global Translucency. Also, you might want to reduce the hardware acceleration of your graphics card.

For each cut section Abaqus/Viewer allows you set visible part with three options:
- below cut
- on cut
- above cut
Just mark two of three options you want to use for specific cut: on cut + below or above cut.

@IceBreakerSours:
I'm not using any display group. The interior space of my model seems empty, just its borders are shown!! My model is attached
@Akabarten:
When using below/above cut, the interior space seems empty. And in the case of using ON CUT, the cutting surface seems completely orange!
RE: 3D elements are shown like two shell surfaces!!!!!
Now I see better, first of all Abaqus allow us use two cut options.
One is available in Abaqus/CAE and the second can be use with Abaqus/Viewer.
Cuting feature is quite new in Abaqus/CAE, it is from 6.10 version.
It is still quite simple feature and does not show mesh "on cut" section.
Cutting surface can use only one specific color (orange is default) or part color.
Cutting feature with Abaqus/Viewer is able to show interior mesh as well.
But in this case you need to have odb file. You can always run datacheck and the open
the odb file with Abaqus/Viewer.
