Thickness Information dialog box
| Location to Probe Thickness Value | |
|---|---|
| Type | Lets you select the location at which to query thickness values. |
| Select Node/Element | |
| Select Node Select Elements | Lets you select the node or element where you want to query the thickness. |
| Node Labels/Element Labels | Lets you add nodes or elements to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Node Selection/Edit Element Selection . |

| Max Range Thickness (>Sigma) | Controls the color of elements whose thickness value is greater than one standard deviation (σ) above the mean thickness value for the mesh. |
| Mid Range Thickness (+/-Sigma) | Controls the color of elements whose thickness value is within one standard deviation (σ) either above or below the mean thickness value for the mesh. |
| Min Range Thickness (<Sigma) | Controls the color of elements whose thickness value is less than one standard deviation (σ) above the mean thickness value for the mesh. |
| Zero Thickness | Controls the color of elements that do not have an assigned thickness value. |
