model ribbed slab in only grid Etabs - pedrozarth - 02-01-2010

how can I model a ribbed slab in Etabs using only grid?
I am finding differences in results between the Etabs and Safe.
In Etabs'm modeling using secondary beams and a slab tick shell plate, correct?

what the differences between shell plate and membrane?
is the difference between membrane and bending?

and how do I create points to know the displacements of the slab. you can only do this by mesh the area?

I can import into Etabs a slab modeled in Safe?
