I have to create a model in ANSYS of a harbour wall. I created different volumes for the rock bricks and for the mortar and then I assigned them their different material properties. I was wondering if this might be a good way and if I also have to define a “contact surface“ between bricks and mortar (and with which properties?). Also, I’m not sure if I have to define an “element type“ for both bricks and mortar and which one is the best to be used (SOLID45 for the brick?).

Thank you for your attention.
