    Hi,

     

    You're using /QUAD elements in your 2D model.

    /QUAD are used for axisymmetric models if i'm not mistaken.

    for regular shell models, the correct element is SHELL4N and SHELL3N.

    So, in order to make it right, go to 2D>element types, select all your shell elements and 'update' them according to this configuration.
