Inconsistent results via setting different start and end time with the same time step

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am solving a time-dependent problem, where I meet an issue related to the convergence. I set six different start and end time with the same time step 0.02ns, for instance, 0 - 10ns, 0 - 20ns, 0 - 30ns, 0 - 40 ns, 0 - 50ns, and 0 - 60ns. However, they give me inconsist results at 10ns, see the figure below. Both Fully coupled and Segregated solvers show the same behaivour. Could anyone give me some tips about this behaviour in COMSOL?Capture.PNG

I'll take a wild guess that perhaps you may be allowing Comsol to automatically adjust the size of your time steps? Try setting your time stepping to "Manual". I've attached a piece of a screenshot to show you an example. But consider posting your .mph file to the forum for more detailed advice.
