My wing consists of 2 spars which run along the spanwise direction, 20 ribs, and skin. I am working on flutter analysis based on discretized approach (using ANSYS to get some parameters) so I have divided my wing into 20 parts, each parts consists of 1 rib, spars and skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Detailed wing model is converted into an FE model. I have defined the skin as a surface body, ribs as a surface body, and spars as line body. Spars are assigned cross sections from the available options in DM and exact dimensions to the cross section are defined.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The problem that I am having is that skin is a single surface body which has multiple surfaces. The thickness of each surface is different. Is there a way to define different thickness to different surfaces of a single body?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I dont want to create each surface with different thickness as a different surface body because then I would have a lot of connection issues which I am already facing.Right now I cant even connect 2 surface bodies places side to side. If any help on that is given it would also be appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-43424","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["15605"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["5863"],"_bbp_subscription":["250485"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["43424"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","176320"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["113392"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["113392"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-05-04 06:05:06"]},"test":"khizerkhan"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/43424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/43424\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
