Non-linear strain

Hi,
I have a question concerning Solid Mechanics module.
In the Linear Elastic Material, the formulation of the strain is given as: e=0.5[\Delta u^T+\Delta u]
However my problem is a bit more complicated, and I have to apply nonlinear strain formulation such as: e=0.5[(\Delta u)^T+(\Delta u)+ (\Delta u)^T (\Delta u)]
I saw that in the example model "Large Deformation Beam", this formulation is applied, but I cannot find how to turn this option on in comsol v4.4.
Apparently in some of the previous versions, v4.0, v3.5a, this option was available by adding "non linear geometric". However, I cannot find this option in v4.4.
How to get around this problem? Is there some other option for including nonlinear strain?
Thank you for your help!
Kiril

Hi
You find the "Include geometric nonlinearity" in the study step, it at the top in the settings for the stationary study step.
