Insert command object under the geometry in Mechanical. Insert following commands to change its element type: et, matid, 93 r, matid, 0.1 !! For defining thickness.  Note that SHELL93 is out of date and not supported. Also while using legacy elements like SHELL93, it is necessary to define real constants properly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-170674","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-17-2","topic-tag-beams-and-shells","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-modeling-and-meshing","topic-tag-structural-mechanics-modeling-and-meshing","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2\/6\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_author_ip":["209.182.204.162"],"_btv_view_count":["2118"],"siebel_km_number":["2047126"],"product_version":["17.2"],"km_published_date":["2017-02-08T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Structural Mechanics"],"application_name":["Mechanical"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/170674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/170674\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
