Topic: Staged Construction of mass concrete

Hi

I would like to simulate the staged construction of concrete structure considering the hydrating, creep and shrinkage effects.
I have prepared some input files for a 3-layer concrete structure. I adopted "EC2CreepMat" for concrete modeling. Whenever I use "timeDependent" parameter, OOFEM encounters some errors. I attached my input files for more information.

In addition, I would like to know what the "relMatAge" parameter is. I used the "castingTime" parameter to define when each layer is casted in thermal analysis. Does "relMatAge" parameter have the same role in structural analysis?

Thank you in advance.
