Hi, everyone.
Particularly, I recommend you don't use features which you don't fully understand.
Nonlinear analysis is a quite complicated. Especially, considering the mathematical background involved in the problem.
The most important thing is being clear when using a particular tool, such as nonlinear material behaviour or large displacements.
Look for the Prof. Wilson's (Among others) books in order to get further information about the topic you need.
Best regards,
