Sequential Simulation not Continuing

I have a model in which I want to start with a fixed joint to maintain initial geometry, and then release after a short time in motion. Per MV-1051, I have added a template file as below, however when I save and run (and can confirm that the joints activate and deactivate in the run log, see italicized log snippet), the second half of the simulation does not appear to run and jumps right to the stop (see italicized snippet). I am not sure what is causing the second part of the sequence not to proceed - any help would be greatly appreciated.

<Deactivate
    element_type = "JOINT"
    element_id   = "301001"
/>

<Simulate
analysis_type      = "Transient"
end_time       = ".05"
print_interval = "0.001"
/>

<Deactivate
    element_type = "JOINT"
    element_id   = "{j_init_fix.idstring}"
/>

<Activate
    element_type = "JOINT"
    element_id   = "301001"
/>


<Simulate
analysis_type  = "Transient"
end_time       = "5."
print_interval = "0.001"
/>

<Stop/>
