I need help with a cylindrical analyse

Hello
I want to optimize the topology of a ring. In the first step I wanted to analyze the stresses and displacements and I encountered some problems. As shown in the picture, I have 4 different types of stresses:

1. shear stress
2. normal stress
3. weight or gravity
4 Bcs

I have defined all loads in a cylindrical form and 3 load steps, for each load step one load type and the same Bcs. Now I have some questions:

1. did I define the correct Bcs? DOF1,2,3,4,5 are checked as zero and DOF 6 is not checked because the ring must be rotated around the Z direction.
2. how can I see the sum of replacements and stresses in Hyperview? I can only see the results for each load step separately, but not together.
