Time values of parametric sweep

Dear all (again),
in a model I am doing a parametric sweep that changes the geometry slightly that includes a transient solver.
Each sweep step is run for n seconds.
Comsol thinks, that each sweep step is a "stand alone" step and every single transient solution during the sweep therefore starts at t=0 and ends at n seconds.
But in "reality" the parametric sweep that changes the geometry of the model in each step is ONE single process.
Accordingly the time value of the FIRST time step of the FIRST sweep step should be t=0.
And the LAST time step of the LAST sweep step should be [n * number of sweep steps] seconds.
(hope I am clear in my description).
So for the post-processing this would be really a pain, because instead of having one time vector that starts at t=0 and ends at [n * number of parametric sweep steps] seconds, I will have n time vectors with n seconds each.
Is there a nice little trick to make the post-processing easier?
I would like to create animations for the whole parametric sweep with all time steps and plot the correct time.
Furthermore I would like to create time series of point probes for the whole simulation.
Thanks a lot for ideas!
Best regards,
Juergen
