Opening the Model and Defining a Nonlinear Study Browse to drive letter:\Users\Public\Public Documents\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS version\samples\Simulation Examples\Nonlinear\NL_Clip_Assembly.SLDASM and open the file. Create a nonlinear static study. Right-click the study and select Properties. In the Nonlinear-Static dialog box, make sure of the following settings on the Solution tab: End time is set to 1. Time increment is set to Automatic (autostepping). Min is set to 1e-08 and Max is set to 0.1. Set the following:On the Solution tab, type 0.1 for Initial time increment. Under Solver Selection, select Intel Direct sparse solver. Click Advanced Options and type 0 for the Singularity elimination factor (0-1). Click OK.
