To Create a Studio Animation

Activates the Studio environment so the current simulation results can be recorded in a realistic or illustrative animation.

Access:

Ribbon: Dynamic Simulation tab Animate panel Publish to Studio

Having run the simulation, do not switch back to the simulation construction environment. Instead, do the following:

1. On the ribbon, click Dynamic Simulation tab Animate panel Publish to Studio.

   Note: If you receive a message about setting the simulation time to 15 frames per second, you have returned to the simulation construction environment and need to switch back to running the simulation.

2. The environment switches to the Studio environment. A few automated steps have been done for you:

   • A new animation: Dynamic Simulation, has been created and activated. The animation timeline is displayed at the bottom of the graphics region.
   • A new parameter: Simulation Timeline, has been created and nominated into Animation Favorites.

3. In the Animation Timeline window, move the slider to the time when the simulation animation ends.

4. In the Studio scene browser, expand the Animation Favorites node. Right click the Simulation_timeline parameter and select Animate Parameter. The Animate Parameter dialog box appears.

5. In the Action section, for the End value, specify the number of time steps you used in the simulation.

6. Click OK.

7. On the ribbon, click Render tab Render panel Render Animation

8. Specify the render settings and click OK.
