    Hi Tonychen,

    Yes, time will not be a physical time, increment of the load.

    In the HyperView session you will see from 0 to 1 for the subcase 1, and from 1 to 2 for the subcase 2. You can use Derived Load Steps for plotting from 0 to 2 directly.

    Don't forget to use NLOUT for requesting intermediate results.

    Thank you very much,
