Under the Non-Linear Analysis heading in the structure tree, Geometric Non-Linear Static Analysis Case can be defined.
In order to perform nonlinear analysis (nonlinear static analysis)a Geometric Non-Linear Analysis, it is necessary to define at least one underload condition. Loading status can be defined with the Nonlinear Non-Linear Analysis Case command. For the nonlinear analysis loading case, static linear load case the linear analysis loading cases must be defined beforehand. When you analyze on any system, the program will automatically create static linear load caseanalysis loading states.
Nonlinear analysis and loading states are shown in the build tree under the Analysis folder.

Use for concrete design  It is the information whether the extreme forces calculated using the relevant loading situation will be taken into account in the concrete design. If checked, it will be taken into account. |
Use for steel design  It is the information whether the end forces calculated using the relevant loading situation will be taken into account in the steel design. If checked, it will be taken into account. |
