Animation enables you to observe how your result changes over time as an event progresses, whether you're interested in the effect of a changing loading factor, or how shape optimization changes your model shape over time, or how your model vibrates with different frequencies.
You can animate any result in which there are result steps, including Static Stress, Nonlinear Static Stress, Thermal Stress, Structural Buckling, Event Simulation, Shape Optimization, and Modal Frequencies Analysis.
The maximum number of animation steps is 100.
