    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
> I used to apply a force directly but I don’t think it’s correct

It is perfectly correct (and IMO the only reasonable) approach.

> Is there any loading method to overcome the problem? Could I control
the loading rate to keep the whole process quasi-static?

Yes, of course, just load it "from zero".
E.g. using PyRunner:
###
stress = 1e7 # max stress, Pa
rate = 1e8 # stress rate, Pa/s
def applyForce():
    f = O.time * rate # linear increase, can be whatever else
    f = min(f,stress) # not to excess max stress
    O.forces.setPermF(Boxid,(0,0,f))

O.engines = [
    ...
    PyRunner(iterPeriod=1,command="applyForce()"),
]
###

Cheers
Jan
