Analysing membrane forces on a panel

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I am doing a project, where I have a beam supporting two floors, one on each side, at different levels.

So, in my calculation model, I am modelling the beam as a panel.

But, as it is a panel, and I want the moments ouside of the plane of that panel, how can I check the moments on the panel?

I have tried a test with the membrane forces (see image attached), with a beam (30x90 cm) and a panel (same size as the beam) in the same supporting conditions, but the values of the moment and membrane forces are really different, as it is shown.

Can someone help me how to "convert" the membrane forces in moments please?

Thanks in advance
