How to exclude an element from C+S?

[Nitin_Singh]

I have introduced an element in a stage, but I don’t want this particular element to undergo Creep and Shrinkage in subsequent stages (other elements can go for it) how can I do that?

Hi,

You can use the WAIT record for the specific group until the stage where you want to include it in the creep and shrinkage calculation. If you want it not to be included in the calculation, you set it until the end of the structure’s life.

Here is a screenshot of the record and its items:

I hope this helps!

Good luck,
