(SOLVED) Multiscale material without shear stiffness

Hi,
I am trying to model a coated fabric (architectural fabric) as a multiscale material. The homogenized linear material has in-plane shear stiffness (G12=23MPa), but the multiscale nonlinear reduced-order model has almost no shear stiffness and force is decreasing with displacement.
As a workaround, I duplicate the elements and assign homogenized material with only shear stiffness to complement no stiffness of multiscale material. But the homogenized material has better test correlation than multiscale+homogenized with only shear stiffness.
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
