# Static Analysis

How to run a static analysis of a model after setting analysis options and verifying stability before P-Delta runs.

**Analysis > Static Analysis** performs the static analysis of the model.

You should set the appropriate analysis options before running this command. To do that, just click **Analyze > Analysis Options**.

For models with P-Delta load cases, it is recommended to first run them without a P-Delta analysis just to verify that the model is stable. Remember that P-Delta analysis is specified on a load combination by load combination basis. This can be set on the *Load Combinations* dialog by clicking **Create > Load Combinations**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/e3d-training-manual/analysis/specifiying-and-performing-the/running-the-analysis/static-analysis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
