Multiple Spatially Varying Pressure Load Cases Bug

[c.meimaris]

I have a model of a cylindrical object.  I define several load cases with spatially vaying radial pressure around the circumference. Each load case is defined in a separate time step.  The multiplier for each time step is 1 for the step of interest and 0 for all others.  I do this so that I can get the deflection for the particular time step I am interested in.  I add them up later and manipulate them outside Ansys. This works fine for a single such load case.  When I use 2 or more such load cases, the results from only the last load case (time step) are displayed properly.  Allother load cases yeild 0.0 for deflection and stress.  For example, If I have 6 spacially varying steps, then I get the correct results for step 6 but zero for steps 1 to 5.  Ansys seems to lose the information for steps 1 through 5.  I know that it is calculating the answers correctly for the last case becuase if I reduce from 6 steps to 3 steps, then I get the right answer for step 3 and zero for steps 1 and 2.  Is this a bug anyone has seen before?

Hi

For this use soultion comination (combine different load cases as needed).
