Ritz P-delta Analysis

A Ritz P-delta analysis is similar to a Ritz analysis, only the deflected shape is the mode shape. The same model (with a few changes) can be used for both. The difference in the case of P-delta analyses is that the stiffness is modified to include geometric stiffness effects.
