Face Thickness: Surface bodies normally have a uniform thickness. However, you can also specify a separate thickness for individual faces of a surface body. This "Face Thickness" is then passed on for use by analysis. (See Body Types for more information).

Feature Tree: In the DesignModeler application, the Tree Outline allows you to modify individual features from any point in the history of the model.

Plane: In the DesignModeler application, a plane is considered to be a 2D object (X- and Y-Axis) with an orientation (determined by the plane normal vector). Planes can be transferred to the Ansys Mechanical application where they appear as coordinate systems.

Project Tree: See Tree Outline.
