      This is because by default, the pre-stressed modal analysis is run as a restart analysis from the preceding static analysis and by default, the restart points are save only at the last time step. To fix this the user needs to go to Analysis Settings in the Static Structural analysis, find Restart Controls and change the Generate Restart Points to Manual and set Load Step to All.
