You shouldn't have to do that.
If the input was all setup the first time you attempted an analysis, CAESAR II should setup the HYD (hydrotest case) with the springs locked. If you added the hydrotest pressure and setup the load case yourself, go to the "load case" options tab (in the Static Load Case Editor), scroll to the right, and change the spring stiffness setting to "rigid".
