1. Is it possible to define these properties, such as functions for creep, shrinkage or elastic modulus accoring to design code not included in RM Bridge, eg. ACI 209R2 code?
2. If it's possible, how to define them?
Hi netsonic,
In Analyzer> Properties>Variables, you can edit formulas and modify them according with project needs. After when ruining the model, in Recalculation>Extending Settings the option for C+S calculation (internal formulas) should be not selected.

Hi Ana
Thank you.
I have another question:
I define two different Creep funtions:
one is modified based on Eurocode, EC2cr, the other is modified based on AASHTO, LRFcr
How to apply EC2cr to some concrete elements, while apply LRFcr to some other concrete elements?
The standard code is unique. You decide which under standard code the model will be run. Imagine EN_Euroode
Create a New Group to apply different variables.
Apply the formulation in the project standard code for EN_Euroode and under the new Group for AASHTO formulation.
Create new materials under the New Group and EN_Eurocode.
Apply the elements to each material. It should work.
