Q. A shell element plot appears to be hollow inside when plotted with thickness included (/ESHAPE,1). The problem occurs when plotting elements in the transition between two areas, possibly also in the transition between the real constant sets. Is this a code defect?
A. This is a limitation to /ESHAPE,1 graphics when shell thickness is defined with a real constant set. The workaround is to use SECTION data to define thickness instead. The plan in future release (possibly 13.0) is to not support (undocument) the use of real constants with the latest shell element technology.
