Hi

Membrane needs a pretension to build up bending stiffness – (by default there is none - bending stiffness ),

 

One can use the inistate command to add some tension (hence bending stiffness) before adding lateral pressure loads.

 

See this post that answers and shows this:

All the best

 

Erik
