Resistance of wall

I have created a wall in Openstudion which comprises several materials, I calculated the R-value of each material and sum them up to calculate the total R-value and U-value, then I found that the U-value that I have got is exactly the same as the U-value in the Eneregyplus result, which means the materials are in series. So the question is how to create a wall which has several materials in parallel?
