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.
