Thick Shells

Thick Shells

By default Thick Shells (*ELEMENT_THSELL) are contoured using the the topmost (outer) integration point for the top surface and the bottommost (inner) integration point for the bottom surface. The data on the side faces is then interpolated between these 2 values. See Contour Display Options for Thick Shell elements for more details about this interpolation.

This option can be used to display the data for a specific surface or integration point on all faces of the element.
