Configuring linear perturbation analysis procedures

You can configure linear perturbation procedures to analyze linear problems. Linear perturbation procedures are available only in Abaqus/Standard. The linear perturbation approach allows general application of linear analysis techniques in cases where the linear response depends on preloading or on the nonlinear response history of the model. For more information, see General and perturbation procedures.

This section provides instructions for using the step editor to configure different types of linear perturbation procedures.
