What is the difference between membrane and shell in ETABS?

1.
In Etabs,
Membrane type - Only in plane stiffness and no out of plane stiffness
Shell type Slab - Both in plane and out of plane stiffness.

In Etabs, when we assign slab type as membrane, it only transfers forces to

Beam's supporting it and does not take part in load bearing. But when we assign
shell type slab element, they take part in load bearing along with the load
transfer to supporting beams. This reduces the sagging moments in beams. And
assigning shell element as slabs is the actual representation of on site slabs.
2.
Why do beams located under membrane area objects generate higher moments
than when under shell area objects?

Answer: Load which is applied to membrane objects transfers directly to

supporting structural objects, whereas meshed shell objects have bending
stiffness and therefore resist a portion of the load through flexural deformation.
As a result, less load will be available to transfer to beams located under a shell,
while 100% of the load will transfer through a membrane
