The challenge I&rsquo;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.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Could you provide more isnights on how to effectively handle this situation and convert the HC unit cells to shell elements?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, I&rsquo;m unsure about the <strong>tool range option<\/strong> and would appreciate it if you could let me know how to activate it, and from which toolbar I can access it.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Looking forward to your insights<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/12\/05-12-2024-1733373650-mceclip0.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-396360","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/396360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/396360\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=396360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
