The objective of this Verification Example of a Snap Through Problem at a Pin-joined Arch is to perform a post-buckling analysis of a typical roof structure, a pinned "linearly arched" structure, using IIIrd Order, the large deflection method, as well as IInd Order, the P-delta effect. The structural model is the one shown in the picture below and the results are in the subsequent plot.
