Multistep simulation questions

I created a model for a drive shaft with a gear on the end.

In the first step I have applied nine loads, in the second step I deactivated the first load (the others are propagated) and created one new load a tooth later. I continued in this way until completing the 16 steps that simulate the rotation .

The type of analysis used is Abaqus Standard and steps are general static.

The problem is that the stresses obtained at the end of the cycle are different than initials (For the same element).

¿Takes Abaqus any information of the previous step?

The only thing i can think it that the program are calculating the new step from the previous results.

EDIT: I've added a graph (MPa vs. Step)
