Hi, mjmiddle.

Thank you for your reply.

With Thick Shells and Beams function, the geometry looks like this:

The way I modelled this geometry is after mid-surfacing, I mershed the bolt hole part with the main body, and assigned different thickness and offset.

I have assigned shared mesh to the geometry so they are all conneced. For a same desired geometry, if I assign offset by user defined, the results show like the second picture from the first post, and if I assign by either top or bottom, the results show like the first picture that offset is now shown. The thickness is 3mm and the offset is 2.5mm. Is this the right phoenomenon to happen?
