SAP2000 shell element slab output is bigger than manual one (with ACI moment coefficient table)

SAP2000 shell element slab output is bigger than manual one (with ACI moment coefficient table)

(OP)
i have a question

im modelling nine panel slab with edge beam on each side of panel. i analyzed it with shell element quadrilateral with 0,3 x 0,3 metre meshing.

the results from SAP2000 is bigger than manual one. my sap2000 tutorial book said that it can be happened. but the book didnt know the reason why. the book just told that moment coefficient is analyzed with some assumption because ACI moment coefficient is limited by edge of its panel. why SAP2000 output is bigger than manual one? can anyone tell me how sap2000 analyze shell element like? or maybe someone has journal that has confirmed this before?

thanks in advance :)
