Setting up Linear Buckling Analysis in HW

I have a situation where I have 18 different pressure load cases which go on a model (19th one is the LOAD card/SUM of the previous 18 pressures). And apart from a linear static, I need to do a buckling analysis as well. Setting up a linear buckling analysis in the current version of HW is quite tedious, especially when the load cases tend to increase. Is there an easier way to set up Buckling analysis load step in current version of HW? Anyways, the solver is set to MSC Nastran. 

 

This is the tutorial I used to learn setting up buckling analysis in HW

Currently, I am forced to import model in to Patran & set up the analysis there. 

 

I hope the above is made easier in HW 2019.
