RAM SS Frame - Net Deflection on Cantilever

Question

RAM is returning the wrong net deflection value for cantilevered members in Frame. See images below: 
 <<< net deflection incorrect 
 <<< gross deflection correct 
 Also the graphical output is not very good since the numbers are often right on top of one another.

Use nodal deflections to get total displacement at a cantilever end node. The member Net Deflections are deflections of the beam relative to a straight line between the ends, and meaningless for a cantilever beam.

Report - Nodal displacements.

Seth Guthrie · Answer

In the steel beam module you can get the deflections at the end of the cantilever through the design report or through diagrams, but this will be a different value because Ram Steel beam only considers gravity loads, does not consider finite element analysis or indeterminacy, etc. See: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/6513/ram-ss---analysis-types-tn
