Hi Shaheer,

Patran only allows the user to create thicknesses manually, however MSC Apex has the capability of creating Auto Thickness using the built in tool. This tool lets you create a mid surface mesh and specify different thickness to the shell element corresponding to the geometry.

Thanks,

Vinay
