To changing the thickness on a Dual Domain mesh

Applies to 2017.3 Update and later

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

Use the Offset tool to change the thickness on a Dual Domain mesh.

Alternatively:

  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 a thickness diagnostic to check the results.
