beam plate moment

[n.pesin]

Hello,

Do beam element transfer moment to plate element?

Thanks you all

Yes it can, but a plate cannot resist the moment about the axis normal to its face. Therefore, if you attach a beam normal to a plate, the plate element will not be able to keep it from rotating. To avoid this, it is recommended to add beams from the end of the normal beam to a few other nodes in the plate to form a statically stable model.
