Hello everyone, I am trying to create a Rutman fastener between two plates. The shells have properties assigned to them and clearly have a thickness associated. But when I use the Fastener Maker tool for it, it throws an error saying "None of the associated elements have thickness values!"
This is despite the tool correctly finding that a composite laminate has been assigned to the shell elements. "$# Composite Laminates: 1"
Has anyone encountered something like this before? Anyway to get around it?
My Patran version is 2024.2
