Hi @sburger,

here you can see @ahmedhussain18 defining a material: [Defining elastoplastic material](https://www.simscale.com/forum/t/defining-elastoplastic-material/22595)

here with a variation of load in z-direction by (@rszoeke):

> **[Ring with Pressure from CSV file by rszoeke | SimScale](https://www.simscale.com/projects/rszoeke/ring_with_pressure)**
>
> Copy of the project Ring\_with\_Pressure - creat a ring with a pressure taken from a txt.File or csv.File by @lkr | Simulation project by rszoeke

here a test .csv file which @anon67859130 used to define time step lenghts for the different stages of the simulation : [https://seafile.simscale.com/f/675cbe183e/?raw=1](https://seafile.simscale.com/f/675cbe183e/?raw=1)

Hope this helps you. Just make sure your Seperator is defined correctly. Messed it up once because of that 😃

Cheers,

Jousef
