Flipping Shell Faces

You can flip the shell top and bottom faces and preview their locations with respect to the shell midsurface before creating the mesh.

In the Shell Definition PropertyManager, select Flip shell top and bottom.

Select Full preview to render the top and bottom faces of the shells.

Top faces are shown in green. The color of the bottom faces is set in Simulation Options > General > Mesh colors > Shell bottom face color.

The flip state (top / bottom) of the shell faces is retained during meshing.
