RE: Composite section

The screenshot shows that 3 terms are turning out to be negative values - PZ, PY and HSS. And, IX too seems to have taken on an absurdly large value. We need to look into why that is happening.

If you are concerned only about an analysis and do not intend to a steel design this section, you can set all those terms to a small positive value. Ideally, IX should have a more realistic value since it affects torsional stiffness. If torsion is released on the member, the value of IX doesn't matter.

Alternatively, you can export it to a PRISMATIC section instead of GENERAL, and chances are, these errors can be avoided.
