How to reduce the stiffnes of elements in Edilus in order Eurocode requirements?

How to change the stiffnes for different elemente
Beam 0.5
Column 0.7
Slab 0.3 ect..

There is no direct possibility of applying reduction coefficients to the stiffness of various structural elements. However, in materials, in the case of seismic calculation, there is the field "Percentage of the Normal Elastic Modulus for Seismic Analysis" which allows considering a reduced elastic modulus by that factor in seismic calculation, to account for, in a lump-sum manner, the formation of cracks due to the cyclic actions of the earthquake. Therefore, you could create "n" concrete materials for beams, columns, slabs, etc., with different elastic modulus percentages, according to the Eurocode indications.

Is it okk if i manualy change the

Normal Elastic Modulus 30% / Tangential elastic moduls 30 %

and leave the percentage of the normal elastic modulus for siesmic Analysis /(100%)-the program doesent allow me less than 50%

i oreder to reduce the stifnes to 30% acording to eurocode?

Yes, it can be a solution. However, please keep in mind that those normal and shear elastic moduli will also be used for the NON‑seismic analysis.

As i understend this is the more realistic model (considering cracks)?

Yes, exactly
