@Jim, Thanks for the feedback. I went through the theory manual and material properties defined for the model satifies all the stated condition. Does the thickness of the 3D solid element have to be large compared to other direction as that is the requirment for plane strain or is constraining the the model is z direction sufficient? Somehow I am getting different results for 3D solid elements when compared to 2D shell elements.
