Bracket simulation
You could do it entirely in Robot with no problems using Shell structure type

Screencast video attached. Recorded live , no rehearsal 
So some mistakes during modeling , sorry
1- Used bars and translation +drag to generate the panel contours . This is my favorite way of doing , because avoids "snap to (wrong) point" errors ,which can cause lots of meshing problems in the future.
Watch excelent meshing webinars (1 and 2) on Build your Robot Structural Analysis IQ - YouTube
2- I Forgot to delete the "construction " bars , and this was giving the instabilities type 2 on the analysis messages . 2nd video will show the correction.
3- a- Correct supports for bolts are in-plane full supports (Uy ,Uz) and perpendicular to plate (Ux) with uplift on negative X direction (only tension on the bolt) .
b- for the Plate/beam/wall , only bearing "against" the wall (support by contact) ,so it is Ux support only with uplift on positive X direction. 2nd video will also show this correction.
Instability type 3 ,in this case ,can be ignored.
Model is attached

For Artur ,Rafal ,Pawel ,
As you can see in the video , my "animated deformation is not working. It goes to the actual deformed shape and stays there.
Also a sugestion , it would be good if we can have a map showing the plate reactions as we have for elastic ground on plate thickness definition
