Hi
I am modelling a honeycomb structure using solid elements with (MAT9)and specified appropriate values for G33 (Ezz), G55 (Gyz), and G66 (Gzx). The facesheets are modelled using shell with Mat 8 cards. The structure is having a Wedge shape and after doing a Iso thermal analysis I am getting some stress (~5MPa) in the shell elements. What could be the reason??

Manuy Thanks
