I have an etabs model with steel columns supporting pin-connected girders on one side only. I see that ETABS is applying some bending moment to the column under gravity loads, presumably from eccentricity of the applied load from the girder. Is there was way to see how this eccentricity is calculated in etabs, or to modify the distance from the center of the column at which the girder load is applied?

Thanks
