My job is much faster if I run in one step with one increment. I notice that when I set the animations and choose my frames to match animations, it matches the same result as if I were to run my job with multiple steps and increments. Is it possible to still extract equivalent data frame by frame after job completion?

Clarification: When I use scaling in animations and choose the amount frames, it's able to produce frames that I would like to analyze but aren't created as field outputs. If I use field outputs per those same frames, it slows down the process significantly.

Other questions: Is it possible to generate the field data and and then choose an amount of frames after the job has been completed? Is scaling factor animation inaccurate depending on the type of simulation?
