Navigation:  Specifying and Performing the Analysis > Running the Analysis > Static Analysis

Analysis > Static Analysis performs the static analysis of the model.

 

You should set the appropriate analysis options before running this command. To do that, just click Analyze > Analysis Options.

 

For models with P-Delta load cases, it is recommended to first run them without a P-Delta analysis just to verify that the model is stable.  Remember that P-Delta analysis is specified on a load combination by load combination basis.  This can be set on the Load Combinations dialog by clicking Create > Load Combinations.
