Offset Mesh

 

Elements

specifies the shell elements to be offset. Select the shell elements to offset in the normal direction. The normal direction of the elements, both the selected elements and the elements connected to those selected, must be consistent.

Distance

specifies the distance to offset the selected elements.


Note:  Offset will change the location of nodes, but will not change the number (or definition) of selected elements. The new node location will be based on the normal direction of all the elements connected to this node.
