Hi

One could have instead 1 step, and define a tabular loading (myload say called) and solve that.

tabular load see here: https://www.padtinc.com/2012/08/24/what-every-user-should-know-about-tables-in-ansys-mechanical-apdl/

 

Also make sure to include all commands like:
—-

/solu

antype,4                   ! transient analysis

kbc,1                      ! stepped BC’s

trnopt,full,,,,,hht,,,yes        ! HHT time integration method

F,all nodes changed as needed here so add,FZ,%myload%

autots,on                   ! User turned on automatic time stepping

deltim

time

timint,on ! dynamic effects on

All the best

Erik
