Q. On Stress Summary dialog, combiination dropdown, difference between Hydrotest and Hydrotest-NL?


Question:

What is the difference between the drop down combination names Hydrotest and Hydrotest-NL on the stress summary dialog. 

Answer: 

To define a Hydrotest load case, the user must configure the Static Analysis settings. In this dialog, the user selects the analysis type to be used for the Hydrotest load case: Linear or Non-Linear (NL).

On the Stress Summary dialog, the analysis type used for the Hydrotest load case is clearly displayed, allowing the user to quickly identify whether the results were generated using a Linear or Non-Linear analysis.
