Why does my time selection in result only have two # index?

  Hello. I am an absolutely new beginner in ANSYS Fluent. I tried to do a 2D transient flow analysis. However, after I solved the case, I went to result and try to generate the animation on contour plot, and there are only two index in the time selection as follow:
  
  I am not sure what step did I do wrong, maybe in setup. I set the Time Step Size (s) as 0.1, Number of Time Steps as 200, and Max Iterations/Time Step as 15. (Btw, I am trying to create a flow of 20seconds. I do not if the above set is correct.)
  
  Would anybody help me to figure out what might be the possible cause of my problem? Thanks.

  Hello,
  
  Did you export the data while running the case? I guess you saved only two data files one is at the start of the run and second at the end of the run. To create an animation, we need to save the intermediate data files.
  
  Please check the below link for more details.
  
  Thanks,
