Loads are incremental in ATENA. In other words, unless you unload (by applying a negative force), the load stays there. In your case, this means you apply the vertical loa divided in 5-10 load step, then apply the horizantal displacements in the following steps.

Topic review (newest first)
I modelled a masonry shear wall and. I want to apply a vertical load (240 kN) at first on the top of wall. After applying 240 kN it should be applied then horizontal displacements at the top of the wall. The vertical load must be constant (240 kN) during the increase of the horizontal displacements. How can i do that in ATENA software?
best regard
