DESCRIPTION:



     The NONLINEAR ANALYSIS CONTINUE command will abort if a new load is

created or a previously inactive load is newly activated prior to

execution.  This is not a valid operation.  The NONLINEAR ANALYSIS

CONTINUE

command expects results to be available for the currently active load

from

previous NONLINEAR ANALYSIS or NONLINEAR ANALYSIS CONTINUE commands.  An

example of the command sequence that causes the abort follows:



          UNITS KIPS INCHES

          LOADING 1

          JOINT LOADS

               1 TO 10 FORCE Y -10.0



          MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CYCLES 10

          CONVERGENCE TOLERANCE DISPLACEMENT 0.001

          NONLINEAR ANALYSIS



          $

          $ Loading 2 is a new load with no results from a previous

               analysis.

          $ NONLINEAR ANALYSIS CONTINUE expects results to be available.

          $

          LOAD 2

          JOINT LOADS

               1 TO 10 FORCE Y -20.0

          LOAD LIST 2



          NONLINEAR ANALYSIS CONTINUE



The correct way to do this is shown below:



          UNITS KIPS INCHES

          LOADING 1

          JOINT LOADS

               1 TO 10 FORCE Y -10.0



Rev. 2.2



          MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CYCLES 10

          CONVERGENCE TOLERANCE DISPLACEMENT 0.001

          NONLINEAR ANALYSIS



          $

          $ The total joint loads applied to joints 1 to 10 is -20.0 kips

               in the global Y direction.

          $ Use CHANGES and ADDITIONS modes to add an additional -10.0

               kips to

          $ loading 1.

          $

          CHANGES

          LOAD 2

          ADDITIONS

          JOINT LOADS

               1 TO 10 FORCE Y -10.0

          LOAD LIST 1



          NONLINEAR ANALYSIS CONTINUE
