The AIJ has updated the Japanese steel design code, AIJ 2005. This design code has been implemented and complements the existing Japanese steel design code AIJ 2002. The changes are minor and the code checking process remains the same as the previous AIJ design.

The design parameters are the same and apply as defined for the current AIJ, the only exception, however, is the Current Code parameter which must be set to AIJ 2005. This setting is available from the GUI list of codes.

Note that a design performed to the new AIJ 2005 standard is displayed in the output file (*.ANL) with the following header:

                       STAAD.PRO CODE CHECKING - (   AIJ 2005     )
   
********************************************  

The equivalent header for a code check (or member selection) to the older standard is displayed thus:

STAAD.PRO CODE CHECKING - (   AIJ 2002     )
