Hello Jermaine,
Thanks for posting in the Altair Community's forum. My name is Andrés, and I'll gladly assist with your request.
For starters, we'd recommend watching our Staged Construction and Multi-scenario Analysis and Design webinar on our YouTube channel, you'll find it following the link above. There is also a shorter introduction video to staged construction, which you'll find here. Feel free to watch these to familiarize yourself with the process in S-FRAME. Please note that staged construction requires access to S-FRAME's Enterprise edition, part of the Advanced Structural Engineer suite.
That being said, we'd require more collaboration and maybe even taking a look at your model in case more specific questions arise. Still, we believe this is a good starting point, and if you need more assistance you can always shoot us an email at sframesupport@altair.com and attach your files and questions to your email. For shoring and restoring slabs, you can always activate or deactivate elements representing shoring during different stages to represent the construction processes, for example.
We hope you find this information helpful. Feel free to ask any additional questions if necessary, we look forward to hearing from you again.
Kind regards,
Andrés Chávez Burgos

Hi Andres,
Thank you for your reply. I already watched all of Altair's videos regarding staged construction. Sorry, I have a lot of questions. Basically, I want to model the staged construction of reshoring of slabs, and I want to see the distribution of loads through the slabs to the reshores. I'll try to explain with the images below.
