Optistruct. non linear analysis. loads

Can the various applied loads be various factors of one load?

I know via a linear analysis what load will first produce stress equal to yield: load Y.

Now I want to apply more load in a non-linear-analysis by applying load steps that consist of loads that are factors of load Y.

I've previously just created lots of individual loads & lots of individual load steps, but surely there's another way. Is TLOAD1 used for this?

Where in the help-material is this described, & how is that best found?

    Perhaps loadstep : LOADADD is my answer.

    I see LOADADD has scale factor and loadstep as inputs.
