Answer:
Check to see if the settings for considering the favorable effect by tension forces are the same in RSTAB and RSBUCK.
RSTAB determines the critical load factor according to the nonlinear calculation method: The loading is increased gradually by the value of the load factor increment Δk until the system becomes unstable. On the other hand, RSBUCK performs a linear eigenvalue analysis. Therefore, the elements acting nonlinearly, such as failing members or supports, may have different effects in RSTAB and RSBUCK.
