Reply To: How to offset beams and surfaces?

[MickMack]

nThanks very much for your help.nnRegarding the explicit dynamics analysis not supporting shell off sets, i could establish the line element at the slab centre and simply off set the beams down from this.nI am just wondering if i did this would it be okay and if there were any other differences that i would need to consider?nOr should i just create a separate stand alone model for the explicit dynamaics?n
