A cantilever beam length 2m,cross section 60mmX40mm , material density 2800kg/m3. E= 78GPa. when im calculating analytically its free vibration due to its own weight , I am getting 8.52 Hz . But In SAP 2000 is giving me 594.18 Hz.... where is my mistake????????? please help me...
 
i am getting correct result when i used shell element... but results were coming different when i used frame section rectangular of same cross section and of same material.... why is this so???????
