    The following function can be used:

    def ExtractShellThickness():
    '''
    Extract thickness values for shell bodies
    '''
    listExtractShellThickness = []  
    for part in ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry.Children:
        for body in part.Children:
            if body.Suppressed is False:
                geoBody = body.GetGeoBody()
                if geoBody.BodyType.ToString() == "GeoBodySheet":
                    name = body.Name.ToString()
                    thicknessValue = round(body.Thickness.Value, 5)
                    thicknessUnit = body.Thickness.Unit
                    listExtractShellThickness.append([
                        str(name),
                        str(thicknessValue) + str(thicknessUnit)
                    ])
    return listExtractShellThickness
