Sequential analysis

Definition, application

Two types of calculation can be combined in one analysis. it is for usecases when it is necessary to calculate for example Stability or modal analysis after nonlinear analysis of structure.

Where to find it

In project data dialog in part 'Functionality' it is necessary to switch ON 'Sequential analysis'. After that in dialogs for creation Combinations, Stability combinations and Mass groups there are new settings for calculation.

Possibilities

Usecases	Description
NC for Combinations	NC is combined as LC in standard Combination.
NC for Stability combinations	Stability combination is performed on deformed structure from nonlinear combination.
NC for Mass group	Modal analysis is performed on deformed structure from nonlinear combination.
