A simple way to create an animation in a motion study is to drag
components to specify the positions of the moving parts of a mechanism at different times.
You can include appearance changes or suppress features for a time period during the
animation. You can insert keypoints along the feature timeline to specify the times
when feature position or other feature changes occur.
In this lesson, you learn the following:
- Create an Animation motion study.
- Drag components in the graphics area to specify component
positions at different keypoints along the timeline.
- Run the animation.
- Modify the animation by changing the component positions at
different keypoints along the timeline.
- Modify the animation by changing the appearance of
components during a time interval.
- Change the playback mode.
- Save the animation as a movie.
