Hi 

  For this model i have done the following( i have tried different variations)

  • the sheating material is modelled as a shell element
  • Both the top and bottom plate is modelled as solid elements
  • Nails are modelled as solid elements ( alsto tried with beams). the holes for the nails are made in inventor and imported
  • the contacs between the nails and the holes are created as bonded 
  • the contact between the studs and sheating are frictionless
  • the contact between the bracket and studs are bonded
  • i have attached some photos to show the results. if needed i can also attach the full model.
