Modal time history cases typically run faster than direct integration load cases and they are not as sensitive to time step size. Although nonlinear modal time history cases can account for nonlinear boundary conditions (gaps, friction, 1-way supports, etc.), nonlinear modal cases cannot do not account for nonlinear P-delta effects. Modal time history cases can only be load sequenced after another nonlinear modal time history case.
