I’m attempting to modify the material of a concrete plate element by adjusting the creep and shrinkage coefficients. I understand that there’s a component called SetConcreteMaterialProperties for this purpose.
However, I’m encountering an issue: when I apply this component, the concrete’s safety factors seem to reset unexpectedly, and they no longer match the values specified by my initial DK code.
Is this due to an error in how I’m using the component, or could this be a bug?
Additionally, when I try to adjust it manually, the ULS factors update correctly, but the SLS/ALS factors remain unchanged, despite my code being set to DK.
Unfortunately, the script you provided still encounters the same issue. When any parameters of the material are modified, the material coefficients reset and no longer align with the national annex or reflect whether they are Prefab or In-situ.
However, I was able to create a Python script that enables me to select all the material parameters for the chosen material.
Additionally, it appears that FEM-Design calculates the coefficients while considering long-term effects, although I’m uncertain about the basis for this calculation.
As a last note, I would suggest to modify the guid and name property to avoid confusion. Better to have a copy of the material that modifying an existing one.
