Shear Panel Property

Shear panel property is a physical property assigned to a surface elements. This property can be applied only on linear quadrangle elements (QD4). A shear panel property references a material assigned to the surface part and describes a thickness associated to this surface part. A shear panel property is associative to the geometry this property points at.
