First check your architectural drawings for some clues on the type of wall you are modelling (e.g. if you model a house you can assume that your wall is formed out of brick and insulation or maybe you have a SIP panel etc.). Then construct the wall layer by layer using the material library. Vary the thickness of the insulation and its thermal conductivity until you reach the required R or U value.
