This node is available for 2D components. This setting overrides the global Thickness setting made in any physics interface that uses this node. For 1D components, see Change Cross Section.

Use the Change Thickness (Out-of-Plane) node to set the out-of-plane thickness for specific geometric entities.

Enter a value or expression for the Out-of-plane thickness d (SI unit: m). The default value is, in most cases, 1 unit length, which is typically not representative for a thin domain. Instead it describes a unit thickness that makes the 2D equation identical to the equation used for 3D components.
