How does one treat and compute bending moments for lets say a three piece wing... that is to say a center wing section and two detachable outer panels. Is the center section handeled as one computation out to the wing attach fittings with the outer panel computations handeled as seperate and distinct levers from the fittings outboard??? OR are the computations handled using a simple half span moment with Zero station being the midpoint of the center section???

I'm working at a spar design for a 92" center section with 62" outer panels and need some advice as to what I should plug into the spreadsheet.
