Automatic calculation of maximum load in nonlinear calculations

Hi,
I am performing calculations with physical and geometric nonlinearity. Could the program automatically calculate the maximum load instead of me increasing the load step by step and repeating the calculation until the matrix becomes singular?

Hi Darek,

yes, that is possible. For this, you need to activate the Add-on Structural Stability in the basic data, activate the stability analysis for the load case or load combination to be examined, and then select the incremental method (with or without eigenvalue analysis). Then you can make the settings for the load increase in the Load Increase tab. Further information can be found here:
