Considering a series of beam188 elements (like a cantileavered beam). If the end element is selected, the prnld will return forces and moments. If additional adjacent elements are selected, and the prnld command is reissued, the nodal forces for the same end element change. Does anyone have any idea why this occurs? I am extracting nodal loads to perform compression checks per code (hand calcs).

Thanks for any input!
