How To reduce Axial stiffness for RC beam or RC column ?

[Artur.Kosakowski]

Hi @mustafahesenow

Unfortunately it cannot be done in the same way as for IX, IY and IZ 

You can modify E value in the material properties (or just define its cross sections as smaller than it really is) and then adjust the above ones accordingly if you need to design reinforcement in this column or define its section by its properties instead.

Hi @mustafahesenow

I haven't tested this as I have just thought about this option - what about using the elastic / partial stiffness reduction UX release?

Hi Mustafa,

I have forwarded your request to the development team.

Hi@Artur.Kosakowski,

I would like to know if it is already possible to change the axial stiffness of a RC Column or a RC beam.

Thanks
