Error: The recorded Historical maximum value decreases during simulation?!

Dear All:
I followed the approach given in the Blog article, https://www.comsol.com/blogs/using-the-previous-solution-operator-in-transient-modeling, to record the maximum historical value. The following expressions are used,
u-nojac(if(T>u,T,u)); MaxTemp = max(T,u) and a previous soluton node
However, I found the recorded maximum may decrease during the simulation. In my simulation, even a tiny decrease is not allowed. Did anyone also encounter such a issue? How to solve it?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Yu,
My best guess is that it is a postprocessing artefact. The stored values in each point are probably OK, and what you see is an effect of interpolation or extrapolation.

Hi, Henrik,
Thank you for your reply. In my model, the historical maximum value is not allowed to decrease. Could you please provide me a way to achieve that? Should I use the value at the Gauss point?
In addition, when I was trying to use the time derivative of the maximum value, say d(V_max,TIME), in my model, I always got a message:
Failed to find consistent initial values. Last time step is not converged.
Could you please give me some help about that?
Thank you for your help.
Happy new year
