ANSYS stores the results of this one load step problem in the
database and in the results file, Jobname.RST (or Jobname.RTH
for thermal, Jobname.RMG for magnetic, and Jobname.RFL for
fluid analyses). The database can actually contain only one set of
results at any given time, so in a multiple load step or multiple sub-
step analysis, ANSYS stores only the final solution in the database.
ANSYS stores all solutions in the results file.
