We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

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
