(OP)
As you already know Cross sections are attributes assigned to line bodies to define beam properties in Simulation.
My question is:

When you use User Integrated to introduce cross sections properties, you get wrong results for the combined stresses and right values for the deformation.

However if you use one of the 11 predefined cross sections you get right both results.
 
Why is this possible?

Thank you very much in advance
