Comments

  1. A TSTEPE entry is mandatory for Nonlinear Explicit Analysis, only if ANALYSIS=NLEXPL is not defined in the subcase. If ANALYSIS=NLEXPL is defined, then only TTERM is mandatory for Nonlinear Explicit Analysis and TSTEPE is optional. If ANALYSIS=NLEXPL is not defined, then both TTERM and TSTEPE are mandatory.
