Hello everyone!

I am trying to model a racking system using SAP2000 and using section designer to make the Frames and the Beams part.And then i notice a different value in area section where the actual section area is around 500mm2 but in section designer it showed around 70mm2.

Can someone please help me fix this issue?

thanks in advance
