How to use ANSYS LDREAD command for substeps?

Hello!
I'm doing a thermal-structural analysis using Physics Environments.
First, I'm running the thermal analysis, and then the structural.
I'm trying to use the LDREAD command to use the results of thermal analysis into the structural field, but I'm not being able to make it work the way I need.
I need to import the temperatures of each substep of the analysis, so I can apply a structural force in each substep.
But it seems that every way I try to do it, it only imports the last step of thermal analysis.

For example, I need to import the temperatures of substep where time=10s and apply a force F. Then, I need the the temperatures of substep where time=20s and continue to apply the force F, and so on, so I can register the vertical displacement of the beam thru time.

Can anyone help me in how to do that?
Thank you.
