Does it behave sensibly up until that point?

Cheers

It just remains is same position when the simulation is being performed and updates to original position as soon as Animation controls are closed.

Sounds like it is failing to assemble correctly. What does the msg file say?

Msg file shows the solutions are converged and deactivating some redundant constraints. I can not see anything other than that.

"deactivating some redundant constraints"
That's probably it then. It deactivated the constraints holding the tie rod.
