I am running a transient thermal analysis on the construction phases of a dam.
At the report file at the first analysis under general parameters it has : Nonlinar ON.
At the next analyses under general parameters it has : Nonlinar OFF.
I am using the default interation method (KITE 1) and the analysis is running sucessfully
but why does it says that Nonlinar is OFF?
Thank you in advance
Hello
without any further information I don’t know why the program changes the calculation from non-linear to linear. Have you seen our TEDDY examples? Perhaps they help you understand the program behaviour.

Thank you for your answer.
Unfortunatelly I could not find a solution from the Teddy examples.
My teddy file is as follows: (after i have made the geometry and materials)
I want the LC 1 to be for the grp1 with a specified time function 1
then the LC 2 to be for the grp 1 and 2, where the grp 2 has the function 2
which continiues from the time LC 1 has ended
at the results it has nonlinear for LC 2 OFF but nonlinear ON for the LC 1
What error I am making? thank you in advance
