Previous Analysis Options for Buckling Analysis
The following items appear on the Previous Analysis tab on the Buckling Analysis Definition dialog box:
Use static analysis results from previous design study—Select this option to use results from a previously run static analysis when you include a static analysis in a buckling analysis. If this option is not selected, Creo Simulate runs the static analysis as part of the buckling analysis.
Design Study—Select a design study to include in the buckling analysis if you selected Use static analysis results from previous design study.
Static Analysis—Select a static analysis to include in the buckling analysis.
Load Set—Select a load set to include in the buckling analysis. If you include a static analysis in which the Sum Load Sets checkbox is selected, you cannot select load sets to include in the buckling analysis. A combined load of all the loads in all selected load sets is used during the analysis.
Number of Buckling Modes—Enter the number of buckling modes that you want calculated for this analysis.
* 
When you include a buckling analysis in an optimization study, Creo Simulate tracks only the first mode, since that mode will cause failure first.
