Hello All,

Thank you for everyone for the quick response.
I am using contacts between the shell elements.Checked the shell normal's before submitting the run.
Do I need to check any other options for better establishment of contacts?.

Kind regards,

Apart from checking surface orientation and accounting for shell thickness (which is done automatically by most contact formulations but should be also taken into account when positioning shell parts that are initially in contact) there are no special considerations for general cases of modeling contact between shells.
