Pronoun refrence!

Excuse me I want to know what does "it" in this sentence refers to?

While NLFEA with DTFTM evaluated the shear strength of the panel specimen accurately, " it " tended to underestimate the shear stiffness.
_______________________________________________________

and If you help me about this sentence too I would be so grateful:

The stresses in concrete , steel fiber, and reinforcement, and their secant moduli can be calculated using the nonlinear stress-strain relationship shown in Fig.6, and then the convergence is checked by comparing the secant moduli in current stage with " those " in the previous stage in the iterative calculation process.

Does those refers to the moduli secant?
