I have tested a model using rayleigh damp and with a static step which creates a 6 unit deflection before setting the situation to a free vibration. yet there is a sharp edge in some cases of tests, not all of them, what is this and how can i solve it? 

worth noting that number of incerements in all test are equal yet some produce this sharp edge

and my initial displacement is 6 units, some tests show 6, some show less, 5 or 4.5 even, why does that happen?
