Use results from time-dependent to do stationary analysis

I want to use the result of different time points of a transient solution to a stationary field as the initial value. Now both transient and stationary were set in one study as two solving steps, transient solve the first field, stationary solve the second field, the problem is that the stationary solution steps only solving the final solution of the transient, there is only one result. What should I do to get multiple solutions of stationary related to every time point of transient solution?

Hello Sun
A stationnary solution doesn't take into account the temporal behavior of your system. It solves the heat transfer equation with the derivate over time equal to zero. That means that your initial conditions won't interfere with your final solution with a stationnary problem.
Could you explain your model ?
