Change of tube diameters in hyperbeam has no effect on displacement result of analysis

Hello, 

i've modelled a frame with beam elements, beam sections were set with hyperbeam and attached to the right properties.

The properties are added to the right components. Now i have noticed, that in one of my two loadsteps (both static, both with only one force and a few constraints) the displacement won't change, if i change the beam sections affected by the load.

The other loadstep is affected by a change of loaded beam sections.

Can't figure out my mistake, analysis runs fine without errors. 

Is there something i'm missing?

    I never got a reply, but eventually my lecturer helped me and found the problem: '

    The properties were not assiged correctly. I assigned them by clicking on the component-> assign-> and then chose the property. The right way would be the other way around. So right click on the property->assig-> and then choose the components.

    Didn´t know that the way they were assigned matters, but clearly it does.
