Edward,

The values shown in the "Hanger Report" are the result of the hanger design process, before the hangers are inserted into the system. The actual restraint reports, from the load cases, are the loads on the hangers as a result of your real load cases.

Sometimes the hanger report and the restraint report show loads that close together, and sometimes not so close. This is strictly a function of the relationship between the hanger stiffness and the system stiffness.

Version 4.50 and 5.00 yield the same results.
