RAM Structural System - Steel Column Panel Zone Shear Calculation

I have a question about how RAM Structural System is calculating steel column panel zone shears in a moment frame per AISC 360-05. It appears to be using equations J10-11 and J10-12, which are only applicable if plastic panel zone deformation is considered in the analysis. For an elastic analysis, equations J10-9 and J10-10 should be used. Please confirm what equation is being used for these checks.
