A. Force Loads
When the nodes and elements in the vicinity of the force are
unselected, SMAX (=6141) moves to the bottom corner, which
is another singularity (because of the displacement
constraint at the corner).

Demo:
A linear static analysis with one load step requires only one
such solution, but a nonlinear or transient analysis may
require tens, hundreds, or even thousands of such solutions.

The advantage of the load step file method is that you can
interactively set up all load steps even for a large model and
then solve them while you are away from the computer.
Note: The loading commands on the load step file are always
in terms of nodes and elements, even if you apply loads on
the solid model.
The database contains the loads and results for the last load
step that was solved.
Results for each load step are appended to the results file and
identified as load step 1, load step 2, etc.
