Dear All,

I have modelled an 'I' shaped shear wall in the building using section designer. After running the analysis(static) and while checking the design, the 'I' shaped section is automatically getting converted to rectangular member of different c/s and reinforcement. Can anyone know about this fallacy of the section designer ?
Please tell me the way to get rid of it.

Please note the all the member are kept in 'Reinforcement to be checked' mode rather than 'Reinforcement to be designed' mode.

Thanks in Advance.
