Solution Step dialog box (Abaqus), Transient Modal Dynamic Step Setup page

Modal Dynamic Step Parameters
Time Duration of Step Specifies the total time allowed for the step.
Time Increment Size Specifies the amount of time for each increment.
Begin Step With: Controls whether the step inherits the initial conditions from the previous step.Initial Conditions From Preceding StepSpecifies that inherits the initial conditions from the end of the immediately preceding Transient Modal Dynamic or Static Perturbation step. If the preceding step is a Transient Modal Dynamic step, Abaqus uses the velocities and the displacements from the end of this step as the initial conditions for the current step. If the preceding step is a Static Perturbation step, Abaqus uses the displacements from that step as the initial displacements for the current step. The step time continues from the immediately preceding Transient Modal Dynamic or Static Perturbation step.Zero Initial DisplacementsSpecifies that this step begins with initial displacements of zero, and the step time begins at zero.
