Hello,
With a quick check I found from the snaps that the governing load case is different for the 2 versions. In V8i it is 46 but in Connect Edition 221.
Can you please check that if both the version give same result with same load case. You may use Load list command to define intended load case to design.
Also, I think you are not using the latest version i.e. 22.06.00.138. Can you please upgrade and check the results. You can check the changes we have made in the program from revision history at the below link.
