The following design parameters have been added or updated in the AIJ 2002 and 2005 design codes in STAAD.Pro.

• The MISES parameter now has an option to ignore torsion in the calculation of the Von Mises stresses.
• A new parameter, MBG, has been added to ignore the web of H-shape, I-shape, and channel sections in calculating the section modulus about the local Z axis.
• A new parameter, YNG, has been added to the AIJ 2002 implementation to instruct the design engine how to evaluate Young's Modulus, E.

Refer to the codes in D9. Japanese Codes help for details.
