Can I obtain the number of steps determined in a loadcase?

I would like to read the number of steps determined in each of the 3 loadcases determined in the simulation with my python code, using py_post and reading it from .t16 file.

Is this possible?

I was thinking about global variable "Loadcase Percentage Completion"... however I am not very sure to understand the meaning of this variable.

Thank you very much!

I dont think there is a direct way using the py_post module. However, depending on your type of analysis, you could find a work around using the avaliable time data for each increment. In case that your Loadcase Time is known you can pass it as an input for the script, so you could get the number of increments of each loadcase based on the Time of each increment.

However, it is a very limited method as it requires to introduce manually the number of loadcases and the loadcase time for each one.
