Chapter 17: Animation mode shapes of your analysis, the program stores the animation frames in a file called Jobname.AVI, where Jobname is the jobname for the current ANSYS session. After completing this step, ANSYS starts Media Player (located under Accessories). This application has a control panel that closely resembles the controls of a videocassette player. If you wish to animate contours, ANSYS displays a dialog box from which you can choose animation options. After you supply this data, ANSYS generates the frames and Media Player displays them. The Replay animation option starts Media Player. If you have stored an animation sequence during the current ANSYS session, the file name associated with it is supplied to Media Player automatically. You can animate other quantities, or do animation in other parts of ANSYS, via the /SEG command. You can access this command directly through the ANSYS Input Window or Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Redirect Plots. AVI files cannot be created directly in batch mode. If you are working in batch mode, you must save multiple images to a single Jobname.GRPH file using the /SHOW command. After the batch run, you can open the resulting Jobname.GRPH file in the DISPLAY program and then create an AVI file. 17.6.2. How the DISPLAY Program Supports AVI Files If you have stored a series of graphics in an ANSYS graphics file, you can create an animation file of these in the DISPLAY program. Start the DISPLAY program and choose Display> Animate> Create on the menu bar. The following dialog box appears. Figure 17.3 ANSYS DISPLAY Program and the Create Animation Sequence Dialog Box Specify the plots to be used during the animation in the File Name box and the delay time in seconds in the Time Between Frames box. For example, if your Jobname.GRPH file contains 20 plots and you wish to use every other plot in your animation, select 1 (for the beginning plot), 20 (for the end plot), and 2 (for the increment). The Create function stores your animated sequence in the default file ANIM.AVI. To replay your animation, use the Playback option, which starts Media Player. 272 Release 13.0 - © SAS IP, Inc.

Note If you are doing animation from an AVI type program on an ANSYS animation file, make sure that the graphics window size of the AVI setting is set to "Original Size." To check the setting for window size, click on the AVI icon and click on SETTINGS. You can change the window size here, if necessary. 17.6.3. Other Uses for AVI Files While you are in Media Player, you can use Media Player's OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) to export your ANSYS animation to other applications. You do this through the "Copy" option under the Edit Menu. Then, you can embed the animation in another OLE-compliant application. For example, you can embed ANSYS animation objects in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. Once an object is embedded on an application, you can just double-click on the object to start playing back your ANSYS animation sequence. To share your compound document with others, give them the Jobname.AVI file you created in ANSYS or DISPLAY plus a copy of the file containing the embedded animation sequence.
