I am trying to select suitable element type (Solid or Shell) for impact analysis. I have tried with both solid and shell elements. The results are same for both element types up to certain impact velocity, later there is a considerable difference in the results obtained using solid element and shell element. So I want to validate with the analytical model and select the element type which is close to the results obtained using analytical models.

Any other suggestions to select suitable element?
