Results for deep beam

[dudu1]

Hi again!
Does anybody know how to interpret the results for a deep beam in SAP2000, modelled with shells? If I'm looking at F11 diagram (axis 1 in direction of beam length), for computing the tensioned bars at the bottom of the deep beam, I'm not sure how to interpret those forces. Do I have to declare a section cut?How?
Thanks in advance.

Take a look at thread801-117194: "Design a beam by using Shell elements" posted by jackyyau...

I answered him a bit superficially... If you want to know how to use section cuts I can send you an email with drawings explaining it.
