| Inside Maximum | Specifies the maximum thickness the software can assign to any node that lies inside the associated solid body. |
| Outside | Specifies the thickness value that the software assigns to any node that lies outside the associated solid body. Because the software generally cannot solve models in which an element has no assigned thickness, you should specify a value greater than 0. |
