'Animate: time history' is going crazy

Dear all,

I check the results of a simulation of 1000 seconds by clicking the 'plot contours on deformed shape'-pictogram. This gives me the deformed shape (with von mises stress information) after the 1000 seconds. So far, so good...
But if I want to check the time history to know how the deformation (with the von mises stress information) is changing with respect to time, then the 'movie' really acts extremely weird... By weird I mean: after 200 seconds deformations go further than the original shape of the model and at the end of the 'movie' (t=1000s) I don't get the same picture as I had by clicking the 'plot contours on deformed shape'-pictogram.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Check the animations options as the deformed scale may depend on either the whole of the frames being viewed or just on a set value at the start of the transient. That maybe why viewing just a single time step differs from the whole of the transient.
