Thickness is not defined in one or more shell

[solid34works]

Hi,
I am working on static analysis of a solid body. I have defined the material etc. But there is one warning sign due to which the simulation is not done.
The warning sign is "Thickness is not defined for one or more shells". I checked my FeatureManager tree but there is no shell feature. However I see there are a few surface feature like "surface extend", "surface cut", "surface fill".
Am I getting this error because of the surface features?
How to avoid this warning and go on for simulation? Please let me know.

I appreciate your help in advance.

Thanks,

When you set material properties for the shell features there is a setting for shell thickness. Since they revised the interface for Simulation I'm not sure where they hid this. It used to be in the Analysis Feature tree by right clicking each shell feature.

You might consult help.

If you look in the parts list in the Simulation tree (not the SW assy tree) you'll see a list of solid bodies. If there is a '+' sign next to a body, expand it and look for any shell bodies you may have created (this can happen if you make a surface region on a part).

You can rt-click on the surface and select 'exclude from analysis'.

Then try re-meshing.
