Hi jwoong,
the one you typed is the command for the standard geometric transformation, without considering P-Delta effects.
If'you're interested in geometric non-linearity you have to use the command:

geomTransf PDelta

It uses the same parameters of the Linear transformation, but during the analysis introduce the effect of deformation on the force distribution!

regards
