In timber design per AITC, members designed as a column are to be designed for moments caused by minimum eccentricity of axial load. So even if MY is 0.0, the program during design will compute an MY requirements of the AITC Manual. The minimum eccentricity is assumed to be 1 inch or 1/10th of the depth in that direction, whichever is more. See Chapter 4 of the STAAD.Pro Technical Reference manual for details.
