WHY STAAD pro uses higher kl/r than what I defined? and causing higher stresses in the brace compared with hand calculations. I modeled X-braces of same angle section, length and k defined = 0.5. Graphical Member query shows one member with full length i.e. k=1.0, while the other with k=0.5. I wished I could attached the test file but there is no way to do
