I have defined the cantilever beam with loading condition of 100N . In ANSYS I can find the Load-> substeps option For comsol How to locate the option? where can i find those options?

As I understand it, you want to increase the load gradually to 100N.

The way to do it is to add a parameter, say Ftip, and use it as the value for the force. Then, in the settings for the Stationary study, you go to Study Extensions, and select Auxiliary sweep. Select your new parameter, and provide a list of values, for example range(20,20,100).

Thanks sir But I have one doubt in structural mechanics (stationary study) while giving load to cantilever beam. I have to take displacement for all nodes generated from 0 to maximum load such as 100N. How to achieve that in comsol?
