Select time steps and prepare the associated data for FEA. You have the option of selecting a range of time steps or the time step you want.
| Access: | On the [time steps pane](../Dynamic-Simulation-Glossary.html#time-steps-pane) of the graph window , right-click Time steps, and then select Generate Series.  |
Number of Steps | Sets the number of time steps to add. The default is 11. |

| Sets the first time step in the range. The default is 0.000 s. |
| Sets the final time step in the range. The default is 1.000 s. |
Surrounding Selected Time | Specifies the number of time steps on each side of the selected time step. Indicate the time step in the middle of the group. For example, to get 3 time steps on each side of 1.2 seconds, specify the time as 1.2 sec and the number of time steps = 3. This results in 7 time steps, 3 on each side of 1.2 sec (3 + 1 + 3 = 7) The default is 0.000 s and 0 time steps. |
