With a properly set sequence of linear steps, you can perform load case analysis: [Load Case Creation](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/load-case-creation/133)

Then you could combine the results from individual steps during postprocessing (for example in ParaView).

Nonlinear steps use the state from their predecessors so the loads accumulate and you can simulate a history of loading.
