What direction does the shell thickness extrude from in Ls-Dyna using a 4N shell?

01 December 2022 0 2K Report

In abaqus, you are able to define the shell offset or the direction the thickness will extrude. How can I control which way the program defines the shell thickness for a 4N shell shape? Is it always from the mid plane?
