This option transfers stresses, strains, history variables, and masses from 2D shell meshes onto 3D shell meshes with a user-defined axis for the rotation. Transferring masses creates *ELEMENT_MASS cards on the result mesh. Furthermore, there is an option to map the 2D shell mesh thickness to the 3D shell mesh by using the distance between the outer edges of the 2D source mesh as the 3D shell mesh's thickness value. This output creates *ELEMENT_SHELL_THICKNESS cards.

An offset angle can also be defined, which significantly speeds up the mapping process, but may cause significant inaccuracies of chosen to large.
