FreeCAD FEM doesn’t support multi-step analyses so you would have to define it manually (by editing the input file). Either using the old-fashioned approach with thermal expansion or just using the *PRE-TENSION SECTION keyword available in CalculiX.
I have just tried to re-open the “plate” file I attached but it won’t open. I get an error message “unknown exception”???
I would appreciate it if someone could let me know if they can open this file.
Cant open “FEM Plate Analysis” file too.

many thanks thomas and NewJoker!
@Laurie can`t open too
I am not sure but I think I created the problem by switching the development and stable app images and saving the original plate with a new name.
I am still having problems with the file so I am going to create a new one.
EDIT: Here is a link to it.
