Action will be skipped (Option) The action will be skipped in the calculation process if the option is selected.
Input-1 > RmSet || Element: From,To,Step Input of RmSet name, where the element series is defined, or direct input of the series of elements (i.e.:1,3,1)
Input-2 > Fact-Ax, Fact-Iy, Fact-Iz Factors for normal force and bending stiffness.

Default:  * means stiffness will not be changed

Input-3 > Fact-Ay, Fact-Az, Fact-Ix Factors for shear and torsional stiffness

Default:  * means stiffness will not be changed
