Is there a way to remove a defined value from the thickness of surface bodies in Mechanical?

The following example can be used:

        removeThickness = 0.0005
        bodiesList = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Geometry.GetChildren(DataModelObjectCategory.Body,True)
        geoData=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].GeoData

        for body in bodiesList:
            geoBody=body.GetGeoBody()
            if geoBody.BodyType==GeoBodyTypeEnum.GeoBodySheet:
                if (geoBody.Thickness-removeThickness)>0:
                    geoBody.Thickness=geoBody.Thickness-removeThickness
