ANSYS help recomends that if SSTIFF is used for non-linear buckling analysis adaptive decent should be turned off to get a lower bound. What if SSTIFF is turned off?

I have found that adaptive descent is helpfull when doing elastic-plastic analysis, turning it off will give an unrealistic low number.

Any insight is welcome.

Thanks,
