  Hi again
  Where can I read about the meaning of "time: 1 s" that shows above the color scheme scale ? What it represents?
  And for example, if I want to check the convergence, I knew that step of 0.2 means 20% of the load. what about if "time: 2s"?

  In Static Structural, the default is to use 1s for each step. In a 2 step solution, 100% of load step 2 is applied at t=2 and 100% of load step 1 is applied at t=1.

  Thank you Peter.
  What is the idea behind 2 step solution? Just to make it easier and smoother to solve?

    Yes, In some scenarios it's better to apply load gradually in steps.
    It gives ease for achieving convergence.
    Thanks
