Hello, I'm learning to use SAP2000 but I have a problem:
A concrete pillar 50cm x 50cm high 3m with only its selfweight, drawn in the origin (0,0,0) has a Global Fz = 18,77kN, if I move the pillar 5 meters from the origin (5,0, 0) I have GlobalFz 18.7 but also Global My -112.4 kNm. Why is there also this moment?
