Loadstep for joint model

I would like to ask which loadstep should I define for using FE-joints.

The loadstep linear-static ignores the 1d fe-joints that I have created, I could fix the model using springs with 0 stiffness in the direction i want to unconstrained the model, but I would like to know how to use the FE-joints. Or are this entities available just for MBD analysis?

    Joints which were created will work for OptiStruct Multi Body Dynamics simulation.

    In such case you can use analysis type as multibody dynamic while creating loadstep.
