Hi,
The difference in results is expected because the mesh density is different for plate and surface. As you know with finer mesh you will get more precise results. Apart from that, surface are meshed internally then analyzed but the results are presented for that surface, not for the individual elements that it is made up of.
For more information on this please go through question number #16 from the following link:
