Hi there,
I am designing currently en enclosure (a box) implementing the Stress Skin Design. I have steel beams on the the roof supported by columns - top flanges all at the same level and 8mm aluminium plates bolted to it along every panel (panels are formed by roof beams) perimeter. Is there any method or option of how to offset the shell ?, it seems I cannot find it. I know I can offset the bars but offsetting the shell/panel would be much easier. Thank you in advance for your kind help.
Best regards,
Tomasz

I though aboutt rigid links but if you mesh a panel then, for example, you will have 300 nodes for rigid links;) I am playing now with steelwork offsets to get expected results.
If you mesh panels in the same way in some situations it may be easier than you think it is
