Hello Simon,
Thank you for your quick anwer,
I did some research and saw on Altair Documentation that both Linear and Nonlinear models are solved by Direct Methods,
Boeing Solver for linear static and MUMPS solver for nonlinear static,
My understanding, and what I see on my .out file, is that nonlinear models are solved iteratively instead of direct as documentation suggests; So, my next questions are:
1) NonLinear quasiStatic is solved in an iterative or direct method?
2) What does the documentation mean that the default solver for non linear static uses a direct solver?
Thank you!

Hi Joel,
I answered you in your last post.

Hi,
SOLVTYP defines the solver type to be used for static and dynamic analysis. Load collector>SOLVTYP card image --> Load Step>SOLVTYPE (subcase option).
