Animation Toolbox
The Animation toolbox controls the display
of model results at successive times to create an animation.
- If the Animation toolbox is not visible, display it by clicking
the Toolbox menu and selecting Animation.
- The Controls tab allows you to do the following:
- To choose whether the animation will advance through time or change the viewpoint without advancing through time, set the Animation type to "time" or "viewpoint."
- If the animation type is set to "viewpoint" you can set the Number of steps in the animation.
- To advance to the next time or position, click Advance.
- To run an animation (continuously advance to the next time), click Run.
- To stop a animation, click Stop.
- To set the display to a particular time, select that time
from the drop-list box, and then click Set.
- The Options tab allows you to do the following:
- Specify a Delay (in seconds) between successive times. This will slow down
the animation. To animate at the fastest speed, specify a delay of zero.
- Specify an angle increment to Rotate (horizontally) the viewpoint
between between successive times.
- Specify an angle increment to Elevate (vertically) the viewpoint
between between successive times.
- For a stationary viewpoint during animation, enter 0 in the Rotate and Elevate text boxes.
