I am modeling an IPE beam using shell elements in Sap2000. My boundary conditions are translational restraints(in all 1,2,3 directions) in one end, and translational restraints (in 2 and 3 direction)in the other end of the beam.
In such a case I don't understand why I have high positive moment values near to the ends of the beam, as you may see in the attached figure..
What am I doing wrong?
If needed I can also send the sap file
Thanks
