Hi Alberto,
It would help if you could elaborate on why you don't want to do a 2D analysis.
My guess is that you want to couple the result of this mechanical analysis to another problem that cannot be reduced to 2D. If that's the case, one suggestion would be to solve the mechanical problem in 2D and use a component coupling to extrude it onto the 3D geometry where the second problem is set up.
This would save you computational time and memory compared to doing an unnecessary 3D analysis.
Best regards,
Jeff
