Construction stages
Use Construction stages to run analysis with staged construction, where loads and structural elements are activated step by step.
Method
Choose the method used for staged analysis:
- Incremental "Tracking" method – elements and loads are added progressively while tracking the structural response at each stage
- "Ghost" structure method – inactive elements remain in the model with negligible stiffness until activated
Time-dependent analysis
- Enable – activates creep-related time-dependent effects during staged analysis
- Creep strain increment limit – sets the maximum permissible increment of creep strain per stage
