Hi, all:
 
I have an assembly of particles which needs to consolidate first, then I need to apply a surcharge on top of them. I thought of two ways:
(1) apply a box on top of the assembly. But my question is how to add a box (dynamic = true) after a certain steps, for example, first iterate 5k steps then activate the top box? 
(2) Apply a force on top of the load, adding another "Engine", count the iteration number "Niter", after "Niter", add the load on top of the particle assembly.
 
Hope I have made my problem clear. I think the 1st way is better, is there any sample code that I can look into? Or just provide some ideas.
 
Thank you very much!
 
Best Regards,
