With Staad.ProV8, can you strength check with reduced E?

[MooMooMoo]

I need to run a check with the reduced E due to high temperature. I tried using "code check" and apparently you can only change certain properties and E is not one of them. Is there a different function in staad that would design the member with AISC code but with a user define steel properties?

Thanks.

You can go into the STAAD Editor and change the material modulus of elasticity.

DEFINE MATERIAL START
ISOTROPIC STEEL
E 29000
