Very often when we run no lineal analysis the solver fails to finish the run, and the results at the last increments seems to explode. This causes some problems to create animations or plots as the values are too high/low and automatic scaling reduce the plot to a line. Would be great if the user could delete the last increment in some way

As for animations, you can choose which frame will be the last one used to animate the results. In Abaqus, there’s also “Active step/frame” window where you can exclude certain steps and frames from postprocessing:

I think the solution should remove the increments saved in the .frd and the .dat file at the same time.
