Why does STAAD Aluminum Design report fail to give any output in the "Clause" or "L/C" columns in the Utilization Ratio chart.

Please help!

Designing a simple truss using the Aluminum Code analysis. The initial analysis produced utilization ratios where the "Clause" references AISC's H1-3 Equation and H2-1 Equation. This led to revise my analysis commands so that it was analyzing for the aluminum code, not the steel codes. However, now that I have corrected for this, the "Clause" column and the "L/C" column are blank. I cannot tell what load case is being used and what code it is referencing. Now the client is asking about this. I have attached the reports and the file here.

What am I doing wrong?
How can I show the client that the correct code is being used to check the utilization ratios?

Aluminum Design in Ram Structural System

Is STAAD the only suite that allows for aluminum design? I currently run the RAM Structural System and I am quite happy with it. Is there any way to design aluminum through RAM, or do I need to go learn STAAD?
