Set the animation properties of the displayed result, such as the number of frames, or whether each frame displays a cumulative result.
- Single dataset
- Animates the result values through the part at a specific time during the molding cycle. In other words, there is only one set of data used in the animation and the values within that dataset are animated.
You can set the number of frames used in the animation. For example, increase the number of frames to smooth an animation and see the material flow progress in smaller steps. This can be useful when investigating material flow through complex geometry.
Dialog elements
- Number of frames
- Specify the number of frames to be generated for the animation.
Enter the desired number of frames in the box provided or use the arrow controls to select the number of frames.
- Value range
- In the characteristic units of the current plot, specify the range to be displayed on each frame of the animation.
The smaller the range you specify, the more frames will be created in the animation.
Note: The default value is obtained by dividing the full value range of the result (e.g. 0 to 2.5 seconds in the case of a fill time plot) by 24 (the default number of animation frames).
- Single dataset animation
- Select which single dataset animation method to use.
- Accumulate
- Displays the cumulative result values as the animation proceeds.
- The result values of all preceding frames are displayed as well as the value range of the current frame.
- Current frame only
- Displays only the specific value range associated with each frame.
