Figure window¶
Shows the selected outputs.
Time¶
Select the current time step. The animation will show the deformation at this time step.
Show 3D scene¶
Open a new window where the modes are animated.
Start animation¶
Start the animation of the selected mode.
Stop animation¶
Stop the animation of the selected mode.
Reset view¶
Reset the view of the animation figure.
Component visibility¶
Select the components that are shown in the animation window.
Format description¶
Change the description in the animation figure. The default description is given in the following table. Manual values can also be added.
Variable |
Description |
---|---|
#simres_name |
Display the name of the simulation result |
#eval_name |
Display the name of the evaluation |

#time |
Display the current simulation time |
#scaling |
Display the scaling (Only if no setpoints are defined) |
#scaling |
Display the error scaling (Only if setpoints are defined) |
#setpoint |
Display the setpoint scaling (Only if setpoints are defined) |

Export plot animation¶
Tick if in the figure should also be exported into an animation, in addition to the animation of the deformation.
Animation delay¶
Interval in milliseconds between two frames.
Fileformat¶
Define the format of the movie. The possible formats are mp4, avi and gif.
Actual value¶
Shows the progress of the movie rendering.
Start/End¶
Define the start and end time of the transient analysis.
Number of samples¶
Define the number of steps between start and end time for the animation.
Animation delay¶
Interval in milliseconds between two frames.
Actual value¶

Scaling factor¶
Scale the deformation of the animation.
Error scaling factor¶
Scale the error between controller setpoint and actual value. Only visible if controller setpoints are defined.
Setpoint scaling¶
Scale the controller setpoint. Only visible if controller setpoints are defined.
