Notes

(a)The default is to No. This is the recommended setting for the majority of analyses.

(b)To suppress the final static analysis step, select Yes. In certain rare circumstances where it proves difficult to achieve a converged solution (notwithstanding the effect of varying the solution parameters), then you may wish to suppress the final static analysis step. This means that the current forces may not be entirely accurate, but invoking this option may represent a reasonable compromise. Further details are provided in Static Solution, but it suffices to say that the linearised drag forces due to current loading cannot be evaluated with complete accuracy until after the dynamic response has been found.

(c)This option is only relevant for frequency domain dynamic analysis.
