I am attempting a manual thin operation on a simple bracket as shown with split faces. The geometry is linked to a solidworks part file. When I attempt to mesh with manual thin, the sweep method shows me an option to change the 'Sweep Num Divs' and the part meshes correctly. 

However, if I now go back to solidworks, make copies of the body in the same part, update geometry in Ansys, and attempt to change the sweep num divs on this method, it now appears to be grayed out and stuck at 1:

It meshes still fine, but the num of divs through the thickness is only 1 which is not desirable.

If you are using 2022R2, then it will not allow you to change the number of divisions for the multibody parts. However, if you have version 2023R1 or 2023R2, you can change the number of divisions for the multibody parts by activating the beta options.
