This was requested here: [New step type - Repeat](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/new-step-type-repeat/1897)

Abaqus recently (in version 2025) got such a feature called \*STEP CYCLING. So it could be a request for CalculiX as well: [https://github.com/Dhondtguido/CalculiX/issues](https://github.com/Dhondtguido/CalculiX/issues)

But currently, you could use amplitudes for custom time variation of loads/BCs.
