■5 = Statics
■6 = Quasi-statics
■7 = Linear analysis

Argument

None

Example

The following example combines the MODE function with the IF function to define a value applied only during statics, quasi-static and linear analysis modes. For these analysis modes, we use the value of -50. For all other analyses modes, we use the value 0.
IF(MODE-4: 0, 0, -50)
