Hi Vladyslav
Shell28 element type was undocumented at version 17. The recomended replacement is to use Shell181 (the default linear shell) with orthotropic material properties and to change its keyopt 1 to be 1 to set the stiffness behavior to be membrane. If you are using a fairly new version of WB Mechanical these are UI options and you should not need a commands object at all.
