What is the difference between Load Objects and Load Objects if Added?
Extended Question: On the Load Case Data for Construction Stage Analysis form, what is the difference between Load Objects and Load Objects
...
if Added?
"Answer: Load Objects " will load apply the specified loading to all objects in the specified group using the specified load, regardless of whether or not they were added in the current stage. " Load Objects If if Added " will only load only the objects which are in the specified group that and were added in the current stage.

results?
For statically indeterminate structures, this is not possible since the shrinkage strains can cause stresses that affect the creep so they cannot be separated (unless the effect of shrinkage on creep is neglected).
For statically determinate structures, the procedure is not automated, but you could do some post-processing of SAP2000 results to obtain an estimate of these forces. For example, you could analyze the response with creep and without the creep and then the estimate effects of creep from the difference between the two responses.

How is design done for the individual stages of a staged-construction load case?
Extended Question: I need to do a code check for the steel members for within a certain step in of a staged-construction load case. The code checker uses a design load combination for checking. I do not seem to be able Is it possible to define a load combination that which includes the results of a certain step from a staged construction load case. Can this be done-construction step?
Answer: You could replace each Each stage ( or sequence of stages ) for which you need to perform the design design must be performed may be replaced by a standalone staged-construction load case that would be using which uses stiffness at the end of a the load case for the previous stage. Then the The design load combination can may then be created for these new load cases that essentially which represent the individual stages in the of staged-construction stage analysis.
How
...
are results obtained only for a certain stage of a staged-construction load case?
Extended Question: For each stage, the stage staged-construction results are cumulative, ie. meaning they incorporate forces response from all the previous stages. How can I, without manually subtracting results for individual steps, obtain results only for a Without manually post-processing output, how are results obtained for any given stage?
Answer: You could replace the stage The staged-construction load case may be replaced by a chained sequence of staged stage-construction load cases, each of which would be using stiffness at the end of the previous load case. The results Results for a single stage could then be then obtained by setting up creating a load combination that would include which includes the current load case with a scale factor of 1, and the previous load case with a scale factor of -1.
