I am trying to understand Shell element behavior . I have modeled a simply supported beam of 24 ft with 1ft thick shell element (Depth 2ft). Meshed Along length 24 and 2 along depth. Applied 3 kip point load at Node along top surface to create a 3 kip/ft loaded simply supported beam of 1 ft Width X 2 ft Depth. Assigned the beam as spnadrel. In my opinion Moment wrt to major axis should be = 3*24^2/8 = 216 kip-ft/ft But according to etabs moment is 138 kip-ft moreover the diagram is rectangular . Can anyone explain please??
