Hi

 

Try:

In the details of the commands you show, set the issue solve command to No. This is because you have a solve command in the apdl commands, so no need to issue a solve again.

After that, and in the analysis settings make sure that you have two steps defined.

In the first step set end time to 150 s (same as weld time in the apdl script), and use one initial substep, and one max and min substep in the substeps (see here about substeps: https://www.padtinc.com/2011/11/08/you-dont-wanna-step-to-this-breaking-down-loadsteps-and-substeps-in-ansys-mechanical/).

The second step will then continue from 150 s, and untill 900 s say.

All the best

Erik
