Although Point Masses may be included in the model, only inertial loads
affect point masses, so the applicability of this feature may be limited in
buckling analyses

F x = Buckling Load
In a buckling analysis all applied
loads (F) are scaled by a
multiplication factor () until the
critical (buckling) load is reached

After setting up the model the buckling analysis can be solved along
with the static structural analysis.
A linear buckling analysis is more computationally expensive than a
static analysis on the same model.
The Solution Information branch provides detailed solution output.
