help with an analysis of a wall of elastic, isotropic material

[Buffer101]

Hi guys. Can anaybody help me with an analysis of a wall of elastic, isotropic material? I'm a relatively new user of Ansys, and also a relatively new finite element method user. If there's anybody who can help me, I will send them the complete problem.
Thanks,
Buffer

hi buffer

I would like to help you?
You want to make the wall a shell element?

Rather than us play "20 questions", here's a great idea: why don't you explain your model in detail and explain to us why you think there is a problem with the result?
