Stationary analysis with various load steps in ANSYS APDL

Stationary analysis with various load steps in ANSYS APDL

(OP)
Hello everyone, I am doing stationary analysis on ANSYS APDL with various load steps, in the first step I simulate thermal expansion with certain displacement restrictions, in the following steps I need simulate with the displacements obtained from the first load step.

Someone knows how to do this?

Hello

Take a look below and check if it helps you. It´s an analysis where a displacement was applied in order to represent a pretension in bolt of a flanged connection. Then a internal pressure was applied in the flange.
