The steel stud options do not have any concrete, they represent steel framing, not steel rebar inside concrete.
It's possible that existing options in BEopt in e.g. the CMU or "Other" category are a close approximation of this construction type. Alternatively, you could model the construction in the THERM Software, calculate the effective conductivity, and then enter it (and other properties) as a new custom option in the "Other" category.
