Okay, I'm showing a different moment on A and B because I am not asking for all of the loads in the system. Once I bring in the reaction moments, my system will be balanced. Thank you both for your time.

Thank you very much for the reply!
I have run this test with a cantilever beam and the results were as expected, however, this didn't seem to translate well to my problem. When analyzing a single beam element of a built-up member, should I expect the forces and moments found in the F06 to...
Hi - first post here!
I have a beam that is a part of a more complex beam model. The F06 shows that the shears are balanced from end A to B, but the moments are not. This has also been verified using a Patran freebody plot.
Shouldn't the sum of the forces and moments be zero?
