On the Maps - Deformation tab in the Stress Analysis - Structure dialog, you can specify the scale of deformation for stress calculations.
Specify deformation parameters:
- Deformation - select this to generate stress maps for a deformed structure.
- Scale of the presented structure deformation is calculated automatically.
- Center lines - if you select this, then after the software generates stress maps for structure bars, center lines (axes) of not deformed structure bars display.
After the 3D view is generated, specify animation parameters:
- Number of frames
- Number of frames per second
When you click Start, the software performs the animation based on the specified parameters. While the animation is presented on screen, use the controls to stop, resume, or rewind the animation. You can save the generated animation as an AVI file, or open and play an AVI file in which a previously generated animation was saved.
