Regarding wind load generator in STAAD Pro V 22.06.00.138
My structure is simply a box structure but when using wind load generator applied to a group,
the wind load generated in +X and -X as well as +Z and -Z have a discrepancy.
It seems that loads are applied properly in all panels, however, there is a mismatch in the resulting total reaction.
By further scrutinity, I found the anomaly to be in the following highlighted members.
When these elements are merged into 1 member, ignoring intermediate nodes, the discrepancy is resolved.
I will also upload my staad model, for your reference,
the wind load cases are 30~41
I appreciate your help, thank you very much.
Application by range was also attempted and the results still have discrepancy.

PS. I cannot delete intermediate nodes as in the actual model, secondary/teritary beams are present in the structure.
To simplify, those members are deleted in the sample model.
Different member divisions lead to some different wind loads applied on these members for some reasons. This should not be happening. We will investigate this issue further and will get back you with further comments as soon as we figure out why this is happening exactly. Internal Help Ticket #1048327 logged.
