Hi All,

Just have a quick question, during class today a student devised a method of shelling only a section of a part. Basically he designed 50% of his part in the normal way, then drew a separate body on a parallel plane, shelled this section and then moved the plane into its correct position. The method seemed to work, and the evaluation check turned up no errors. My question is, is this a reliable/correct way to produce  a partial shell ? and will the model retain its integrity for FEA analysis etc.

Kind Regards

P,
