RAM Concept - Creep Coefficient & Shrinkage Report

Question

Hello, 
 When using RAM Concept to calculate the creep coefficient and shrinkage strains, is there some way to report the values after a load history analysis?

Actually, we now tabulate incremental and cumulative creep coefficients and shrinkage strain. This was a useful but not well-known enhancement added in v8.2.0. See this article: https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/w/structural_analysis_and_design__wiki/52420/ram-concept-load-history-deflection-analysis-results-table

No, we don't report or plot the effective creep values at the stages. The manual has some details on the method in section 72.3.4 Creep and Shrinkage Models if that helps.
