Loading Sequence for Nonlinear Analysis

Specify the sequence of applying load cases to a geometric nonlinear analysis.

From the Main Menu select Load > Settlement/Etc. > Misc. > Load Sequence for Nonlinear Analysis.

The dialog box lists all the Static Load Cases entered in the model. Using the button , prepare the Sequence in the order of applying the static load cases.

,

The buttons are used to move a selected load case in the Sequence column up or down at a time, thereby re-sequencing the order of load case application.

Invoke the Nonlinear Analysis Control dialog box to specify the condition for geometric nonlinear analysis.
