shell problem help please

[loubna.lahnin]

I applied loads on a shell but i cant get results. I have only zeros. Help please. see file attached.

Ps: I'm trying to calculate the normale stress in the shell. It's the ground (foundation) of a crane. 

Thanks in advance

You have defined a vertical (UZ) support in each node of the panel. In such case it cannot deform under the applied load (load is transferred directly to supports). I think that you should replace these supports with horizontal ones (UX and UY blocked) and define elastic soil with the appropriate KZ value in the definition of the panel thickness instead.
