Hello everyone, I have a question about controlling load steps in Ansys workbench structural analysis. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Here is the problem. I have 3 load steps. My simulation stopped at load step 3 without converging. So in order to get convergence in load step 3, i reran the simulation repeatedly many times. Since load step 1 and 2 took quite long time to finish, it is wasting a lot of time to reach load step 3 and still it did not converge yet.

So i am thinking to do it in this way: first simulate load step 1 and 2 only. Then in a separate simulation I want to start from load step 3 based on the results from load step 1 and 2. But I could not figure this out in workbench. Can anyone give me an idea how to do it.

Thanks.
