add wall thickness

[JHL]

Hello everyone,

I am using the carotid geometry from the bifurcating artery Ansys tutorial. I am actually looking into a way to a wall thickness and make the inside hollow using spaceclaim. I tried mutiple things such as the pull tool but no luck. Is there a way to do so? Thanks so much!

Hello, 

There is no direct way to do this. First you will need to split the body in half with upper part and lower diverging section. Than copy faces and paste those. Once you have faces you can this option shown below to thicken the surfaces in the Pull Tool.

For lower part again similar steps needs to be used. Let me know if this helps.
