Hi all,

I built one story steel structure model, which can be analyzed, but ETABS kept showing "analysis and design section differs for 16 steel" and needed to reiterate the analysis and design. But after reanalysis and redesign, the same message showed up again. Please see attached $et file.

Additional question:
I built this model by open one cope of former project and deleted all beam and columns, since I attempted to keep the load combinations of that project which I manually input. However, it turned out the number of those beams are pretty strange, how can i fix this problem? Thanks.
