Hello!
I see there is a “Set Concrete Material Properties” component in the FEM-Design plugin for Grasshopper.

It is possible to input numbers for the different creep and shrinkage coefficients, however, I am looking for a way to automatically calculate them. FEM-Design has this functionality, it would be great to have it in Grasshopper as well.

Hi @Viktors!

Thank you for your suggestion. Marco is not available at the moment, so we can discuss it when he returns. I have created a case related to your request and you can track its status using the link below.

Hi @Viktors

We will consider the implementation of an utility formula for the API for one of major version of the API.

As you probably already know, FEM-Design implement the formulaes provided in the EN 1992-1-1:2004

I have create a case on GitHub so that you can keep track.

We will inform you if it will be implemented :slight_smile:

ehi @Viktors

Looks like that StruSoft already have a tool to calculate the creep.
can you get access to the following webpage?

We might be able to implement the formula in the future version of the API as well
