Changing the thickness on a Dual Domain mesh

You can change mesh thickness without having to modify the part in your CAD system and then re-import the part.

The recommended option to change the thickness on DD mesh is to use Offset tool.

Another option would be to:

1. Select the entities whose thickness you want to change.
2. Right-click on a selected entity and select Properties... from the pop-up menu. The Part surface (Dual Domain) dialog appears.
3. Select the Part Surface Properties tab.
4. Select Specified in the Thickness drop-down list, enter the required thickness value, and click OK.

Note: Editing the mesh thickness property should be performed when only a fill or Fill+Pack analysis is required. The analysis accuracy will be compromised if a Cool analysis is run anywhere in the sequence.

Tip: You only need to select a single entity, then select the check box that will apply changes to all entities that share the properties of the selected entity.

Tip: Run thickness diagnostic to check the results.
