Your timestep prevents that (can’t reach 2.5), so it uses the closest. If you want out put at 5s,10s, etc. you need to specify the timePhase = 0., or 5., <div><br></div><div>I have no idea why it sometime goes wrong. Maybe the rounding sometimes implies .4 and sometimes .6 as the neares to .5?</div><div><br></div><div>Martin<br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On 15.

It was working fine until I increase my resolution and decrease my timestep (0.2s). I save my diagnostics as snap-shot every 5 seconds. When I look at my output, I have snap-shots filled with NaN. I checked my time output and I find some inconsistencies. While I still have output every 5 s, I have, at some times, output at 0.2s. It happens at around 1 min and around 17 min of my simulation, then after that, all my output are correct (I run my simulation 60 min). In total, I have more output than I should have (due to this strange output at 0.2s). Here are my first time output (in bold red are the output at 0.2s):</div><div class="elementToProof ContentPasted0" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400;
