Thank you very much for your support, Mr. Rohan.
The problem I am facing using the midsurface tool is that it asks me to select both an outer face and an inner face. The challenge I’m encountering is that some of the outer surfaces of the unit cells are also the inner surfaces of adjacent unit cells. This creates a bit of complexity when trying to map the surfaces onto shell elements.
Could you provide more isnights on how to effectively handle this situation and convert the HC unit cells to shell elements?
Additionally, I’m unsure about the tool range option and would appreciate it if you could let me know how to activate it, and from which toolbar I can access it.
