External pressure Cylinder buckling

I study the buckling loads of cylinders. I need to find critical buckling, overall buckling, and collapse buckling loads. First, I did a linear buckling analysis and used mode-1 as a geometric imperfection (scale factor = 0.1). I applied 0.03 Mpa of pressure to the cylinder. I obtained a graph using Newton Raphson and the stabilization settings but could not model the behavior exactly. Then I tried the Arc-Length method. It didn't happen again.

Eigenvalue multiplier is 20,306 for 0,001 mpa . So my critical buckling have to be lower 0,0203. Finally ı wanted to see my model behavior for overall buckling and collapse buckling.

Can you help?
