Time history function not working?!

Hi,

I have created a linear direct integration time history load case, which contains a bridge live load pattern. This load pattern has a time history function associated.

The problem is that when I change the time history function, all the results stay the same...Even if I create a null time history function (all zeros throughout the time), I still get stresses and deformations in the structure, suggesting that the time history function is actually doing nothing!

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? I've seen that time history functions work with static load cases...Can't it work with moving load cases?

Any help will be mostly appreciated!
