(OP)
Hey Guys
I am beginner in APDL. I want to use shell 181 to mesh a thin plate. what is different between real constant and section?
Both have parameters for defining thickness and mass? so, which one I use ? what are differences?
thanks in advance

Actually you are right about pre-processor tabs. But It is possible to add rc for shell181 by r command,I solved a thin plate by r command.My question is what is benefit of rc?
Thanks for your attention rick.
