Increase the Number of Time Step Points in ANSYS Additive for DED Simulation

      Hello, 
       
      I am working on a Directed Energy Deposition (DED) simulation using ANSYS Additive Suite. I am following the example provided in the ANSYS documentation for a racetrack DED simulation. I have set the time steps as shown in the provided image.
       
       However, my simulation results are not following the specified substep order. Instead, I am only getting a very few time step points , shown in the image.
      How can I change the time steps to get more detailed results instead of only getting results at particular intervals as highlighted in the above image(For time step : 7.001,9.334,10.113...)? For example if i need to get a temperature result for every one second (For example at time step 1,2,3,4,....) or for every 5 second, How can i do it.

      Hi,

      You can try reducing the maximum time step size and see if that helps.

      Hi Ashish,  I have tried changing the max time step size values, however no change in the results. Same time step results are seen, with no difference. Do you have any other suggestions.
