  I'm trying to implement a ramped (or Custom) load in AIM, but I find only constant factors to multiply each loadstep. Thanks Michele

  Hello M.Zanoletti
  
  I am mentioning the response from Glyn that you got yesterday:
  
  In the context of Structural Analysis, there are a couple of options:
  
  1) Use multiple load steps and vary the multiplication factor per step as per Richard's suggestion.
  
  2) Use manually defined sub-stepping (in Solution Progression) to see equally spaced portions of your applied conditions (if it's just ramping up to a given magnitude) - that said, you can see this without sub-steps by going by percentage in the result.
  
  3) Use the "time-dependent structural" beta feature to enable tabular entry. You can exclude inertial effects by turning Time integration (in Solution Progression) to Off.
