Do you perhaps mean post-yield stiffness ratio?

If it is that, a quick search in the sap2000 help (or on the internet), will probably give you something like this:

"The post-yield stiffness ratio applies for nonlinear analyses. It is the post-yield stiffness divided by the initial stiffness."

Should mention that this quote is taken for rubber isolators in SAP2000, so it probably does not apply to beams.
 
Thank you sir. and how can we assign post yield stiffness ratio in flexural hinges of beam in sap model?
