NLINDATABASE

Description	Type	Default
Controls the storage and retrieval of nonlinear data such as loads, displacements, stress, and strain used in nonlinear static analysis. The default value DELETE will purge all nonlinear data when the program terminates normally. When set to STORE, the nonlinear database is stored in a single file with the same base name as the Model Results Output File, plus an increment and a load scale factor designator, and a .TDB file extension. When set to FETCH, the nonlinear database specified by the NLINDATFILE directive is retrieved and the nonlinear solution (static or transient) starts at the database configuration and load scale factor. An integer value may be specified to designate a SET command which identifies which load increments (load scale factors) are to be stored. When set to UPDATE, the nonlinear database will be retrieved and stored.	Integer > 0 DELETE/ FETCH/ STORE/ UPDATE	DELETE
