okey, some debugying…..

I feel like it is a bug of paraview as in another section of my code I keep track of the evolution of one specific line by looping over time (`for t in timeSteps:`) steps and using `animationScene1.AnimationTime = t`

and in that case it works for the two situations (pvpython and python console)

and if instead of using `animationScene1.GoToLast()` i instead use `animationScene1.AnimationTime = timeSteps[-1]` the script works as intended.

for info the timeSteps i got them by using `timeSteps=simfoam.TimestepValues`

maybe I should run something ‘else’ so `animationScene1.GoToLast()` works? outside of what I mentionned before:

```python
animationScene1 = GetAnimationScene()
animationScene1.UpdateAnimationUsingDataTimeSteps()

```
