How about LineLoad following the path and the weight of the wall? What do you expect to achieve and what else could it be?

Yes i apply line load. But wanted to know if there is an option to model masonry walls.

Hi, this aspect opens a totally new view to the problem.

So we must have a proper density material to model the whole wall first, then
we should be able to decide the rigidity / stiffness of the brick-structure.

Is it load bearing? How it is fixed to the structures around ? And so on..

I think, that it is not necessary very much advisible to go that way.
There might lurk too much problems ;>)
