What thickness do I enter in an axisymmetric model

General Questions

Hi Everyone,

I’m trying to run a 2D Axisymmetric model. When I select Solid Section it wants me to input a thickness. It says, “For the mixed axisymmetric model the thickness of the plane stress elements must be defined for an angle of 360.”
I’m not doing a mixed model, it’s entirely axisymmetric. What should I enter here? In all the tutorials I found, there is no thickness involved in an axisymmetric model.

Thanks!

Thickness is irrelevant for purely axisymmetric models so you can ignore it.

OK I’ll just ignore it. Thanks!
