I tried using ealive in every load step and solved
when i ran the animation over time it shows all the activated elements throughout the animation.
What i want is that with time elements should come alive one by one as per load steps.
Note- I want to use this further to simulate laser sintering process.
Instead of solving one by one, you have to put time-time step and then write the LS file one by one and at the end you have to solve all the ls file by taking ls from 1 to end no. In db result file you have to choose 'every ls file'. Feel free to contact with me any time.
I tried your mentioned procedure but I am unable to save the load step,
The error says as in the image attached.
Despite you are talking about laser related topic, I am using Birth and Death feature for RC structural analysis. I do not know if it is useful for your application.

It will be very useful if you can tell me how use "birth and death " for subsequent load steps.
You can check the links below and hopefully it will be useful for you.

@Kamal Alogla
I have already referred to above links but it seems to me that i am making some sort of mistake in applying the mentioned steps
It will be very helpful if you can show me the procedure for the same
