movment of components in rolling contact analysis

I'm performing rolling contact analysis on railroad wheel/rail (Abaqus solver interface).

when I do the post processing with HyperView, the rolling components that I ask for output is moving the way that it seems they are not continuous with the rest of the wheel and rail! I really don't know hot to explain it so I attached two screenshots from before rolling and after rolling to show what happens. Could you tell me why this happens? I mean is it correct? because it seems my results are correct but I can't present it in HV properly to have a nice presentation!

Rolling of the wheel is induced by sliding the rail ro left with 70 increments.

Thanks

Hi,

It looks like you would have kept components in transparent mode while postprocessing.Use contour plot to display displacement.Keep model in shaded mode with feature line or mesh line mode.

Hi Rahul,

Could you please explain with more details that what I need to do?

Attached is another screenshot showing it with the contour.
