Hello I am not familiar with plate elements, if we are talking about aspect ratio, it is the largest dimension over the smallest dimension if I am not mistaken. For plate elements, does that include the thickness?? let us say I have a 0.5mx0.5m plate tha

The aspect ratio is the ratio of larger to smaller plan dimensions of the plate. Thickness is not considered as part of this calculation.
