Stationary analysis with various load steps in ANSYS APDL 1

[rafaelcacho]

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.

Thanks ASMS81,

I have already solve my problem, I used the RIMPORT command and it work great for me.
