Modal nonlinear time history analysis in sap2000

Modal nonlinear time history analysis in sap2000

(OP)
Hi,

I'm a student doing earthquake engineering. I've watched some tutorial videos for the modal time history analysis. It shows that to begin with it, I need to define the modal case to be with Ritz vector. But I am not sure if I put the applied load in modal_Ritz case. The pattern I put as image shows.
Since I want to have the time history analysis continue with 1.1 (DL+LL) case, I add a load case call TH. Show in . I'm not sure about the functions I need to use and also the time step number and size.
I want to know that is it the right procedure to do the modal time history analysis?
