how does it determine and effect the analysis??
Thanks for your answer.
Pseudo Time

pseudo time is the time in the domain .. the domain has a current time associated with it whether it is a static analysis or transient analysis. the time in the transient analysis is obvious. the time in a static analsysis maybe not so.
whether the analysis is static or dynamic is is the pseudo time that is passed to the load patterns. the load patterns from the time passed to them determine the load factor from the associated time series. it is this load factor that is applied to the reference loads inside the pattern.
