It allows you to define steel strength properties for the existing materials.  The strength properties include:

Steel yield stress Fy

Steel rupture stress Fu

 

If standard materials are used in Tables > Material Data, these strength properties will be set automatically.  You may override these properties prior to performing steel design.  No steel design will be performed on a member if its modulus is not close (within 10%) to 29E3 ksi.  You should not modify materials that are not steel on this dialog.
