a = -40 (T = 260) a = 20 (T = 320)
a = -20 (T = 280)
a = 0 (T = 300)
The animation parameters define the necessary interval and step of the time
variation. The step T=1 corresponds to the clock arms motion with the beat
rate of one second.
Now, start running the animation using the option , and you will see a
“live” model of the clock on the screen: the arms moving and the date
changing from the 31st to the 1st at “midnight”. The pictures on the right
hand side show some snapshots of the animation corresponding to the time
instants reflected on the diagrams.
For viewing the animation “in the real time”, check the respective flag among
the animation parameters. The animation step will then be the time of the
model regeneration. The arms movement in this case may not correspond to
the normal clock arms movement.
When creating a video clip, the image playback speed depends on two
parameters: the animation step and the frame frequency. In this particular
example, the natural clock ticking can be obtained by specifying the
animation step equal to T1/N, where T1 is a portion of the animation
corresponding to the seconds arm advancing by one notch, and the N is the
number of frames per second defined in the parameters of the video clip
recording.
