Hello,
I would like to model the post-buckling behavior of shells using the "Calculation Diagrams" function. So far, I have increased the load using the incremental method. However, the default settings specify stopping the calculation at the load maximum. Is there a function that allows continuing the calculation beyond this point?
Thank you very much.
Hello @emily and welcome to the community 
Beyond this point, further calculations generally cannot be continued because when the load maximum is reached, there is no longer an equilibrium state. Numerically, this leads to the calculation no longer converging and therefore being aborted.
Regarding calculation diagrams, you can find a suitable manual entry here:
