Defining composite shell section thickness (override element thickness)
Defining composite shell section thickness (override element thickness)
(OP)
Hi,
I am modelling a composite part with varying wall thickness, so I am using continuum shell elements. According to the CAE manual, right now the shell thickness is being taken as the element thickness. Is there a way of overriding the shell thickness? I want to be able to vary it without having to redraw my base sketch every time. I know that using regular shell elements is an option, but then I would have to drastically modify the sketch from my customer.
Thanks!
