Simulation - Sheet Metal Shell Direction

Hey all,

I'm running an analysis on a welded bent sheet metal assembly. Simulation treats these as shells. I've had the best luck creating my own surfaces and then applying a thickness to them in simulation, but I'm not sure which direction Solidworks is deciding to create the shell. This can make a difference if the sheet metal is fairly thick.

Any ideas?
