  Hello,
  
  my qestion is: is an Transient Analysis with 900 Load steps realistic? can it be done with 97Go Ram and 20 virtual cores for the CPU? Or do i have to reduce this numer?

  Try using 1 load step and not 900. What is the load? If it varies over time, you can enter tabular data and have time and magnitude in the table and do all that with one load step.

  The Load are 3 Torques where each one varies over time with 900 values. Can using just 1 Load step lead to an unconvergent solution?

  Not if you set the substeps correctly.
