    I have write a self define ACT plug and need to get the step time when write to solver file. I found a way, but it, but I am not sure is there any native API to get the step time ?
    Here is the code:

    1. class InvokeUIThread():
    2.     def __init__(self, ExtAPI, analysis):
    3.         args = [None] * 7
    4.         args[0] = analysis
    5.         ExtAPI.Application.InvokeUIThread(self.internalGetAnalysisData, args)
    6.         self.args = args[1:]
    7.  
    8.     def internalGetAnalysisData(self,args):
    9.         args[1] = args[0].Name
    10.         args[2] = args[0].WorkingDir
    11.         args[3] = args[0].GetResultsData()
    12.         args[4] = args[0].GeoData
    13.         args[5] = args[0].MeshData
    14.         args[6] = args[0].StepsEndTime
    15.  
    16.     @property
    17.     def AnalysisName(self):
    18.         return self.args[0]
    19.  
    20.     @property
    21.     def WorkingDir(self):
    22.         return self.args[1]
    23.  
    24.     @property
    25.     def GetResultsData(self):
    26.  
    27.         return self.args[2]
    28.  
    29.     @property
    30.     def GeoData(self):
    31.         return self.args[3]
    32.  
    33.     @property
    34.     def MeshData(self):
    35.  
    36.         return self.args[4]
    37.  
    38.     @property
    39.     def StepsEndTime(self):
    40.  
    41.         return self.args[5]
    42.  
    43. def SolveCallBack(load, solverData, stream):
    44.     CurrentStepNum = solverData.CurrentStep
    45.     analysis = load.Analysis
    46.     # times = analysis.StepsEndTime
    47.     InvokeUIThread = InvokeUIThread(ExtAPI, analysis)
    48.     times = InvokeUIThread.StepsEndTime
    49.     CurrentStepTime = times[CurrentStepNum - 1]

      I am not sure if this will help in what you are doing, but you can get step end times by step number by using the Analysis Settings object instead of the Analysis object itself.

      I have create a self define load, and write some APDL command to solver ds.dat file when create this file. And I need get the step time when getcommands callback action. But solverData seems don't provide this API.

      1. stream.Write("LDREAD,TEMP,,,{0},,{1},rth".format(CurrentStepTime, rthFile.replace(".rth", "")))

      Using Analysis Settings objec to get the time, the result seems is Quantity object.

      1. analysis.StepsEndTime
      2. [1, 2]
      3.  
      4. st=analysis.AnalysisSettings
      5.  
      6. st.TimeStep
      7. '1 [sec]'
      8.  
      9. st.StepEndTime
      10. '1 [sec]'
      11.  
      12.  
      13. st.GetStepEndTime(1)
      14. '1 [sec]'
      15.  
      16.  
      17. st.GetTimeStep(1)
      18. '1 [sec]'
