Subcases Sub-Levels

For Static, Linear Buckling, Prestress Static, Linear Steady State Heat Transfer and Nonlinear Steady State Heat Transfer analysis types:

• Subcase

Subcases behave differently between linear and nonlinear solution types. Linear solutions are analogous to completely new and different analyses. Nonlinear solutions use the end of the previous subcase as an initial condition for next subcase.

For Normal Modes analysis types:

• Modal Setup
• Subcase

For Linear Buckling analysis types with two subcases by default:

• Subcase 1 (Initial Stress-Linear Static)
• Subcase 2 (Buckling)

For Prestress Static analysis types with two subcases by default:

• Subcase 1 (Initial Stress-Linear Static)
• Subcase 2 (Linear Static)

For Prestress Normal Modes analysis types with two subcases by default:

• Modal Setup
• Subcase 1 (Initial Stress-Linear Static)
• Subcase 2 (Linear Static)

For Nonlinear Static analysis types:
