You would have to discretize the wall into a mesh of linear elements. This gives you an approximation of the mechanical behavior of a wall. In case you want to have distributed forces and moments in arbitrarily oriented  sections of your wall or principal stresses and the like, you should use a fe-program that provides 2d-elements.
