Midsurf Thickness Behavior Under Different User Profiles |
|
|
|
|
Organize only
| • | Creates new components based on the Organization method. |
| • | Organizes elements into these components. |
Contour
| • | Creates a contour of the thickness values of nodes and elements, based on the specified options. |
| • | If you chose Properties on elements, Properties/Sections on components, or Organize only under the Assign thickness to option, HyperMesh honors the Organization method settings during the contour process and the contour value is assigned based on that organization. This allows the contour to match with the applied results. |
| • | If you chose Elements or Properties/Sections on components for the Assign thickness to option, and choose to use Nodal values for the Thickness calculation method, the values may not exactly match the nodal values that are actually applied. There can be multiple thicknesses associated to a node if it shares an edge with multiple surfaces. Since HyperMesh can only provide one value for the contour, it always chooses the first value which might not match exactly with the applied values in these situations. |
| • | Creates a single property named tNodalThickness. |
| • | Creates a single node set named tNodalThickness with Nodal_Thickness card image. |
| • | Assigns the property to the selected 2D elements. |
| • | Adds the relevant nodes to the node set. |
| • | Assigns a single thickness to each node using attribute ThicknessValue. |
| • | Creates a single property named tNodalThickness. |
| • | Creates a single node set named tNodalThickness with Nodal_Thickness card image. |
| • | Assigns the property to the selected components. |
| • | Adds the relevant nodes to the node set. |
| • | Assigns a single thickness to each node using attribute ThicknessValue. |

Properties/Sections on components – nodal values
| • | Creates new components based on ordered nodal thickness values. |
| • | Creates new properties and sections based on ordered nodal thickness values. Properties are created for those shell elements where thickness is assigned from properties. Shell sections are created for those shell elements where thickness is assigned from shell sections. |

| • | Assigns multiple thicknesses to each property, using real values. In case of shell sections, only one thickness will be assigned. |
| • | Organizes elements into the corresponding components. |
