Dear Sir,
I have experience in Ram Element (RE) for a couple of years and I have found incorrected analysis results for several times.
I'm not sure that they are software's bugs or I'm wrong.
Mostly, I use RE for analysis and design of steel portal frame using simplified 2D analysis.
Only in-plane loads are assigned, but the result shows out-of plane bending moment that shall not occur.
Moreover, the moment diagram does not equal to zero at hinge support.
When I meet the problems above, I solve by creating a new file. Sometimes it works, the result is correct, but sometime it does not work.
I attached Ram Element file and summary pictures shown the problems above as link below

Please clarify and advise
Best Regards,
