Notes

Steps are registered to a compas_fea2.problem.Problem.

A compas_fea2 analysis is based on the concept of steps, which represent the sequence in which the state of the model is modified. Steps can be introduced for example to change the output requests or to change loads, boundary conditions, analysis procedure, etc. There is no limit on the number of steps in an analysis.
