Load in embeded beam row

Question

Hi All, I have please an urgent question concerning embedded beam row in Plaxis 2D.
I defined an embedded beam row with a certain spacing (6 m). In the output I am getting internal forces, which are as example Moment in kN.m/m. Is that the complete load in the embedded beam or should I multiply it by the spacing?

Thanks. This information is very useful

Hello Fadi, 
 Good to hear that you got the answer from support. Indeed, you will need to multiply by spacing as results for such elements are provided per meter of out-of-plane direction.

Dear Nam, 
 Indeed, the results of the embedded pile row in PLAXIS Output are displayed per meter out-of-plane. So, in order to get the forces/bending moments per pile, you should multiply the Output's result with the spacing between the piles. 
 We are working on improving the presentation of the results so that they are less confusing.

Dear Vu Ngo, 
 I am not sure which version you are using but the anchor results are in force units (per anchor) and not per meter out-of-plane.
