SOLVE

SOLVE, Action
Starts a solution.

SOLUTION: Analysis Options

Action

Action to be performed on solve (used only for linear perturbation analyses).

ELFORM	—	Reform all appropriate element matrices in the first phase of a linear perturbation analysis.
ELFORM,,REFORM	—	Starting with the second load step during multiple load steps, reformulate all appropriate element matrices in the first phase of a linear perturbation modal analysis using SOLID272 and SOLID273 elements by changing the MODE number.

Notes

Starts the solution of one load step of a solution sequence based on the current analysis type and option settings. Use Action = ELFORM only in the first phase of a linear perturbation analysis.
