      Selecting a type of analysis depends on many factors (type of physics, time dependency, types of loads, non-linearities) and might be a crucial step.
      If the load is constant and does not vary with time, Static Analyses serve as a great solution. But if the load varies with time, Transient Analyses are used.
      Linear analysis assumes the a constant Modulus of elasticity though the material behaves in a non-linear fashion after the failure criterion. (Yield point for ductile materials.) In such cases the stiffness matrix is constant and is independent of the displacement matrix. Where as non-linear analysis includes non-linearities such as - material non-linearity, geometric non-linearity, contact non-linearity.
      You can find more information on each analysis type in the references mentioned below.

      Hope that helps!
      Thanks Sahil
