- Select the case(s) through Define > Convert Combos to Nonlinear Cases.
- Run a static-linear analysis, then once complete, run a static-nonlinear analysis (only required in V9, in V13 linear and nonlinear cases will run in same analysisat once).
- Add the nonlinear case(s) to a user-defined combination with a scale factor of 1.0.
- Apply the nonlinear combination as design load.
- Perform design.
