when defining snubbers for non linear system, we are unable to derive the proper case using activation/deactivation in load case setup.

To define the problem clearly

L1: W+P1+T1
L2: W+P1+T1+F1(case 1 : snubbers active/case 2 snubbers inactive)
L3: W+P1
L4: L2-L1 (OCC)
L5: L3+L4(Abs)(occ)

Case 1 : Snubbers fully block the expansion and force resulting in huge loads

Case 2: No loads absorbed by snubbers

The same problem if dealt with linear load cases, provides the correct results as F1 is defined separately

L1: W+P1+T1
L2: W+P1
L3: F1 (occ)
L5: L3+L2(Abs)(occ)

As our problem is nonlinear we could not use these cases.

Is there any way for this, please help.
