Detail setup of ESLM considering non-linear dynamic case

Hello,

  I wanna optimize the radius and thickness of cylindrical, the rigidwall is dropped to impact the cylindrical with an initial velocity of 10m/s. I have conducted the model in LS_DYNA and obtained time-displacement curve of a certain node. Now I wanna use ESL method in Optistruct and have set up the loadsteps as Geom non-linear (impl static). So is it right? If so, how to apply the load obtained from LS_DYNA into Optistruct? I have checked a lot of Q&A about ESLM, but still have no idea about the detail setup in Optistruct. 

  Thank you in advance.
