Why the solution of the first step does not have any effect on the second step in terms of total displacement in the "layered Plate" in the model library?

I checked the Model library Structural Meechanics "layered Plate", and tested an example with exactly the same parameters settings as the layered plate model except that I only included the last step (the three layers are active and the temperature drops from 150 degree to 20 degree), I did not include the first step in which only the coating layer and the substrate layer are active and their temperature drop from 800 degree to 150 degree. Then I get the deformation result, the value of total displacement of the three layers are exactly the same as that in the layered plate, which puzzles me. It seems that in the layered plate model, the solution from the first step does not have any effect on the second step in terms of the final total displacement. But that is strange, can anybody give me an explanation? Thanks in advance!
