Animation PropertyManager

The Animation PropertyManager enables you to animate a plot and save the animation as an .avi file.

To access this PropertyManager:

Right-click the plot icon in the Simulation study tree, and select Animate.

Basics

Play Starts the animation from the current frame.
Pause Stops the animation at the current frame.
Stop Resets the animation to the starting frame.
Frames Sets the number of frames to be used in animation. Linear interpolation is used to determine frames. Not used for transient thermal, nonlinear, or drop test analyses.
Speed Controls the speed of the animation. Drag the slider to the right for faster animation or to the left for slower animation.
aforward.png Button Forward Only Select to play the animation forward one time.
aloop.png Button Loop Select to play the animation in a continuous looping pattern. It will play from start to end, then start to end again, and continue to repeat.
Reciprocate Select to play the animation in a continuous reciprocating pattern. It will play from start to end, then end to start, and continue to repeat.

Save as AVI File

Option Sets the compressor to be used.
Browse Click to specify a name and location of the animation file.
View with Media Player Select to view the animation using the Microsoft® Media Player©.

  • Animating Plots

    Animated plots represent snapshots of plotted data versus time or frequency. If results are available for one step (linear static, frequency, buckling, and steady state thermal analyses), results are linearly interpolated for several frames. Multiple steps are available for transient thermal, nonlinear, dynamic, and drop test studies.
