Hey Alma Anila,

Instead of using fixed support in the second step compress it using a displacement boundary condition, and deactivate the displacement boundary condition in 1st step.

In the above you can see that I've deactivated the displacement in 1st step. Just Right click on that particular step and you will see the option to deactivate it. The blue highlight also proves the same in load diagram.
