When I use ANSYS/LS-DYNA to simulate shell elements, I attempt to set a thickness offset for the shell elements. I have already set the offset value in the preprocessing and reloaded the model. However, when I open the shell element thickness, I cannot see the offset effect of the shell elements. I have tried selecting the correct attribute in the display options, but the problem still persists. Could you please tell me what could be the possible reasons and how to solve this problem?
