Re: shear moment diagram perpendicular to the plane it should be
Gil,
SolidWorks has recognized there is a reporting error for the shear stress in a beam analysis. The SPR is 571336. I am not sure but I would assume that this may also be affecting the shear and moment diagram as well.

hi
I also noticed the same anomaly display diagram of moment, this stange, they did not correct the problem although it is raised A long-time

HI Gil:
I'm not sure it's a bug, more along the lines of how the writers developed the graphics algorithm and oriented the diagrams with respect to local beam axes. Nevertheless, I agree the diagrams certainly appear in the wrong orientation, and perhaps the developers can improve on that. I wrote this little video on how they do it, so that if you can see the local beam axes, you can work-out the orientation issue. It is on GoEngineer's YouTube channel (SolidWorks Simulation - Beam Shear & Moment Diagrams):

I hope that helps explain at least why the diagrams can be rotated 90 degrees. -Tony
