Why are the yield moment for the same exact section different? My calculation for yield moment matches exactly with the moment curvature (<1% Error), but it's very far from the nonlinear hinge moment yield definition, also it's not because of the expected Fy, I calculated that too and it's still different.

I'm just guessing here.... But, I'm thinking this is a units conversion issue with the program.
