I may be off base here as I don't know the details of what you are doing,
but protein folding/unfolding has an astounding number of degrees of
freedom. So unless you are looking at a fairly short peptide, I wouldn't
expect the same pattern to reproduce itself very often, regardless of
simulation software or hardware.
