Hi,
Can I use Non-Linear Hinges in Time History Analysis (design for blast)? In the help it is written "This option is used for defining and assigning non-linear hinges to structure bars. These hinges are used in Pushover analysis for selected structure types in Robot".

Yes, it is possible to use non-linear hinges also in static analysis or in time history analysis.
Of course the existence of such hinges in the model results in the automatic change to non-linear static analysis or to non-linear time history analysis respectively.

Mixing non-linear hinges with elasto-plastic properties of the sections in the same model but in different bars is OK.
MIxing them in the same bars is not recommended because it corresponds to modeling the same effects (plastification or non-linear material) in 2 completely different ways:
