Tools: Section Database - wrong values and units

Units and values are inconsistent. For instance, elastic section modulus Wx... Wz should be listed using consistent units, moreover their values are wrong. For example HEA140 should have W.el.y=155.4cm^3 instead of 1587.3mm^2

Hello, 

The Elastic section moduli (Wely , Welz unit= cm3) and The shear rigidity factors (Wy,Wz unit= cm2) are different, 
for the HEA 140, 
Elastic section moduli 
Wely = 155.36 cm3
Welz = 55.62 cm3
Shear rigidity factors 
Wy = 16.60 cm2
Wz = 6.55 cm2
For more details,use the section builder tool. 
The section database is listing only the basic info. 
Please let me know if you need more info.
