Just to clarify, let me add that I am not adopting the buckling modes approach but instead defining directly the 3 components of each node translation.

Thanks for your answer.
Using a high scale factor I was finally able to see the deformed shape. I was surprised to realise that geometric imperfections were already incorporated on step 0 of the analysis.
Btw, did you ever have problems obtaining the descendent part of the force-displacement...
Dear All,
I created a certain shell-element based model of a frame structure using Abaqus 6.10.3 software.
The approach that I adopted to incorporate initial geometric imperfections was via the scaling of the first buckling modes.
Thus, I:
(i) Performed a buckling analysis of the model...
