              - SHELL10/NL (6/93) 
                  
 
                an FEM program written to perform a geometric-nonlinear static 
                analysis of thin-shelled structures under the action of general 
                force, thermal and residual-stress loading; the code uses an iterative 
                Newton-Raphson procedure to solve nonlinear problem; it employs 
                the core solver of SHELL10 for performing 
                linearized analysis at each iteration and incorporates most of 
                the specific features of its ancestor; schemes for automatic detection 
                of nonlinear behavior of parts and a perturbation technique to 
                capture bifurcation-buckling behavior with semi-automatic selection 
                of perturbation force are incorporated; an under-relaxation technique 
                is used to overcome convergence problems in the iterative solver; 
                output of the code includes the final displacement of the part
