      One can perform a static analysis to setup the equilibrium state of the system before running the transient analysis within Workbench. The trick is to start with the Transient structural module, use 2 load steps (1st load step is static and the 2nd and other subsequent steps for transient). In the first load step, you can turn off the time integration which makes the solution Static.
