Unecessarily repeated first time step

Hi,

A preloaded structure is the common starting point for many subsequent studies. Each subsequent study is a different loadcase.

This is driven through a design study in this case but could conceivably be a series of manually initiated studies. Using a design study the mesh remains consistent from case to case and so no re-meshing but we are able to ask Simulate to use a mesh file from disk when initiating manually.

Every analysis begins with the SAME preload calculation.

What a waste of time and CPU.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks
