This is a good outcome. Don't worry about the Force numbers. ANSYS has figured that out for you.


It looks like you had Initial Substeps set to 10 and maybe Minimum Substeps set to 10, so you ended up getting to full load in 20 iterations.


If you want to try to spend less time waiting, you can reduce the Initial Substeps to 4 and Minimum Substeps to 1. Then if you are lucky it will get to full load in 3 or 4 iterations since it will increase the time increments after a successful first iteration at 0.25 time increment.
