Hi Ibrahim.

I can't see your picture on my screen, but anyway...

You could divide your shell mesh into a number of seperate meshes - depending on the precision of the thickness variation, then assign each mesh a unique shellID and then assign the different shell cross sections to the different shellID's.

At least that is what I would try :) Maybe there are better ways.

Thanks Rasmus,

This is what I have done, and this is what I have got ..

I am not sure what is happening in the cross section component, it seems that only one cross section is considered ..

Yes indeed the data structure is going to be important :)

Good luck with the project
