From the 5th RSA webinar:

"Like in case of RC Columns RC Walls should be defined as panels between two neighboring levels of slabs rather than as a single vertical panels through the entire height of a building. This not only allows you to access reduced results for panels or results for stories but it also prevents issues with incoherent meshes at the intersections of walls and slabs which we discussed in our previous webinars about meshing."

Why for the same meshing do you expect the results to be different?
