S-Frame Finite Element Results

Hello,

I have this S-frame model in which I couldn't rationalize the results.

I ran two analysis types: Linear Static and P-Delta.

In my model, I have fixed the base, and applied a downward uniform pressure load everywhere.

The linear static model provided reasonable / understandable results, but when I ran P-delta analysis, the results become confusing.

I'm not sure why this is happening.

I can send my model as well if required.
