Limitation in the number of answers in a time dependent model

I am running a time dependent simulation in the Rotating machinery-laminar flow module. I am using the BDF (Backwards differential formula) method. I am try to find the time in which the velocity of my model stabilizes. I ran three different simulations with a time step of 0.1 during 5 s, 10 s and 20s . However, I am obtaining the same answers for the three models, because COMSOL is giving me just the first 50 time step solutions, which means the answers for the first 5 seconds.
Is there something should I modify in COMSOL to obtain more data, or does it mean that after 5 seconds the model is stable and for this reason COMSOL is not giving me any more solutions?

Hi
read carefully the doc about the time stepping solver, and try time step "intermediate or strict in the time stepping tab of your transient solver sub-node

Good luck
