Description
Creates a modal animation from results data. The results file must be loaded before executing this command. The *freesimulation command clears the animation.
Inputs
- title
- The title to use for the animation.
- max_deflection
- The maximum deflection in model units, or the scale factor, to which the maximum analysis result should be scaled. Use a negative value for model units and a positive value for scale factor.
- frames
- The number of frames to use during the animation sequence. The maximum value is machine dependent.
- display_mode
- The type of display to generate. Valid values are:
- 0 - Mesh wireframe only.
- 1 - Rendered with mesh lines.
- 2 - Feature lines only.
- 3 - Rendered with feature lines.
- 4 - Rendered only.
- output_type
- This argument is no longer supported and is ignored.
Examples
To load the result file named C:/my_results/test.res and generate a rendered animation for Subcase 1 with Displacements data type, using a 10.0 model unit scaling:
*analysisfileset C:/my_results/test.res
*inputsimulation "Subcase 1" "Displacements"
*animatecycles 10
*animatemodal "" 10.0 4 0
*freesimulation
