ANDATA, DELAY, NCYCL, RSLTDAT, MIN, MAX, INCR, FRCLST, AUTOCONT, --, AUTOCNTR
Displays animated graphics data for nonlinear problems.
DELAYTime delay during animation (defaults to 0.5 seconds).
NCYCLNumber of animation cycles (defaults to 5). Available in non-UI mode only.
RSLTDATThe type of results data to be used for the animation sequence. This can be:
0 | — | Current load step data (default). |
1 | — | Range of load step data. |
2 | — | Range of results data. |
MINThe range minimum value. If left blank or 0, defaults to the first data point.
MAXThe range maximum value. If left blank or 0, defaults to the last data point.
INCRThe increment between result data (defaults to 1).
FRCLSTKey to force the last sub step in a selected load step to be included in the animation (defaults to 0).
AUTOCONTA value of 1 enables automatic scaling of contour values based on the overall subset range of values. The default value is 0 (no automatic scaling).
--Unused field.
AUTOCNTRA value of 1 disables automatic centering of displaced plots. The default value is 0 (allow automatic centering).
Use the ANDATA command to create animations for nonlinear problems. The command works by displaying an individual graphical image for each result data set from the results file. For information about creating animations for linear problems, see the ANIM command.
The command operates only on graphic display platforms supporting the /SEG command. It uses a macro to produce an animation based on the last plot action command (for example, PLDISP).
The results file must have more than one set of results.
The command implicitly issues /DSCALE, 1 for default displacement scaling. Large displacements may not give good results.
This command functions only in the postprocessor.
