Animating a result

The Animation toolbar includes several options you can use to animate results.

Click one of the following buttons to display the selected result in the required way.

For some results plots, you can choose what to animate; for example: animate over time or over a single dataset. Results displayed over a single dataset are animated through the unit of that result. For example, the Pressure at V/P switchover result is animated through the pressure values in the specified unit system (if Metric units are specified, pressure values are displayed in MPa).

  1. Right-click on the selected plot in the Study Tasks pane.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. Select your preferred option from the Animate result over drop-down list.
    Note: Certain plots have only one option available.

The number of frames can be increased or decreased; for example, increase the number of frames to smoothen out a jerky animation.

To change the number of frames used in the animation, edit the plot properties.

Tip: You can drag the slider or use the arrow keys to step the animation forward or back.
