In the linear statics solution sequence (101), is there a way to get the results of each subcase to feed into the following subcase, similar to the way it automatically happens in the non-linear statics solution sequences (specifically 106)?

In the non-linear statics solution sequences (specifically 106), the results of each subcase feeds into the following subcase. Is there a way to replicate this in the linear statics solution sequence (101)? In 101, the subcases appear to be quite independent of each other. This particular problem is not making use of Super Elements. I am assuming this would require creating a DMAP alter to use the previous subcase results as "initial conditions" to the current subcase. I have a modest skill level in writing DMAP alters. Thanks.

I agree about the oddness. No nonlinear materials defined; just the more-or-less usual suspects of temperature dependent materials (specifically, MAT1,2,8,and9 with their corresponding MATT1,2,8,and9. Technically, I guess they would be non-linear in a transient thermal analysis (right?), but not for a structures analysis - just a convenient way of specifying material properties at different run temperatures. I do have an NLPARM card that is probably about the most simple it could possibly be:

NLPARAM,100,1
