(OP)
Hello...
I would like to do a nonlinear analysis in GT STRUDL...
Can anyone help me in it? If you have tutorial or things like that, I would love it =]
Thanks.

The drop down menu under Modeling-> Nonlinear Effects has several options.
Here are a few commands that I use:
NONLINEAR EFFECTS

Thank you a lot for your help.

You might consider taking the GTStrudl basic and advanced course when they are given in Atlanta. The summer courses were given in August and the spring course is taught during spring break at Georgia Tech next year.

Can't you save it in a pdf file and send me?
Thank you a lot man !
RE: Nonlinear Analysis
The program comes with several example files that will show you what is possible with the software.
I always attend the User's Group meeting in June and people come from as far as Sri Lanka and Russia. A group from South Korea used to attend. Our last meeting was in Seattle and I believe we will be in Charlotte, NC next year.
