RC Designer Issues

Hi,

I'd like to point the following Issue with the RC. Staad Designer.

  1. I'm designing a basic double frame structure
  2. The column design checks using ACI-318M is ok

But when it comes to check the beams there's this red warning color on the model which indicates fail in the main reinforcement, and no matter how I handle the design parameters, it just doesn't check.

The fun part comes when just by curiosity I run the design using  the IS code (with default parameters and everything just checks.

Summarizing, I'm feeling every time less trustworthy using these "STAAD Addons"  that for instance give more functionality to the whole package but in the end is just a cumbersome process.
