Bending Moments in Slabs (shells) using SAP2000
Bending Moments in Slabs (shells) using SAP2000
(OP)
Hello I have what seems to be an easy problem which I cannot figure out.
I want to analyze the bending moments in a slab supported on walls using SAP2000. I know that the slab should be modeled as a shell and that the edges should be fixed to represent the stiff walls. When I run my model and look at the analysis I cannot find an option which reports the bending moments in the shell (for both x and y directions). All I can find so far are wall reactions and the slab deflection.
Thanks for helping if you can!

Then you may choose the m11 and m22 options to see the resulting bending moments in the local 1 and 2 directions respectively.

I was doing exactly that, but had my component type set to "Shell Stresses" instead of "Resultant Forces".
Stupid mistake because moments are forces not stresses... thanks for the help!
