Shell thickness plot
Shell thickness plot
(OP)
Dear all,
I have a model consisting of areas and associated shell element types. The model has different shell thicknesses. For example; 3 areas with 10 mm shell section thickness and 5 areas with 20 mm shell section thickness.
I have set the material, element and section thickness for these areas but didnt mesh the model yet. I want to plot the areas with associated thicknesses indicated with different colours in this stage (before meshing). By this way I can easily check whether I have assigned the right thickness to the right area of the model and mesh it afterwards.
I couldnt catch a command like plot with shell section thickness. I will be pleased if anybody can share help.
