Interfaces-contact surfaces

Hi,

I am doing a simulation on sandwich panels. So, I had to give the interface between the Sandwich panels and specify the contact surfaces. But when I apply a force on this panel, there is deformation only on the topmost panel. The force is not being transmitted to the below panels. I would appreciate if anyone can come up with a suitable solution.... Expecting replies..

From the Analysis Panel try Interfaces and set type to TIE. Then click add from the same subpanel and change entity to csurfs. Create csurfs throug the edit button. This will glue two sets of elements together as contact surfaces
