How to disable creep and/or shrinkage in CSM?

1

At the end of CSM, we need to add "+apply “$(NAME)_csm.dat”. suppose my original teddy name is 1.dat, then this command will create two files:
1_csmlf.dat and 1_csm.dat

For beam structure, in 1_csm.dat there is AQB code:

$PROG AQB
#define AQB_CTRL
PAGE UNII 0 ! standard input units
ECHO FORC,COMB,STRE,EIGE no
CTRL EIGE 1+2+64

In order to disable creep and/or shrinkage, I change “EIGE 1+2+64” to “EIGE 0”. Then remove "+apply “$(NAME)_csm.dat” in the CSM and add “#include 1_csmlf.dat” and “#include 1_csm.dat” in the CSM.

But everytime the CSM run, it will change “EIGE 0” back to “EIGE 1+2+64”.

Any time you run PROG CSM the files 1_csmlf.dat and 1_csm.dat will be created from scratch and overwrite your settings.
Simply deactivate the csm run with -PROG CSM.

If the only problem is that the settings for AQB get changed, you could “overwrite” them before each CSM run ?

STEU AQB TEXT ‘STEU EIGE -67’
This will add together to make 0 → 1+2+64-67 = 0

I think “”+apply “$(NAME)_csm.dat” will regenarate 1_csmlf.dat and 1_csm.dat.
But I deleted the "+apply “$(NAME)_csm.dat” at the end of the CSM and add
“#include 1_csmlf.dat” and “#include 1_csm.dat”
That will regenerate 1_csmlf.dat and 1_csm.dat too?

I just want to run CSM w/o creep and/or shrinkage, so I can’t disable CSM.

Other bridge design softwares, such as RM Bridge (TDV), Midas Civil and CSiBridge do provided disabling feature during CSM.

Thank you, where should I put the code?

+PROG CSM
HEAD Bauablauf
STEU AQB TEXT ‘STEU EIGE -67’
…
[the rest of your CSM definition]
…

end

I guess “STEU” is the German, so I change it to “CTRL”
Below is my codes, plz run ‘0. Include.dat“， the creep and shrinkage is still effective.
0. Include.dat (107 Bytes)
Aqua.dat (1.2 KB)
CSM.dat (1.2 KB)
SofimshC.dat (1.3 KB)
Tendon.dat (3.3 KB)
