Create a scale factor animation of an eigenmode
-
From the main menu bar, select
; or use the
tool in the toolbox.
Abaqus/CAE
displays the third mode shape and steps through different deformation scale
factors ranging from 0 to 1.
Abaqus/CAE
also displays the movie player controls on the right side of the context bar.
-
In the context bar, click
to pause the animation.
Create a time-history animation of the transient results
-
From the main menu bar, select
to select which frames will be active
in the history animation.
Abaqus/CAE
displays the Active Steps/Frames dialog box.
-
Toggle the step names so that only the second step
(Transient modal dynamics) is selected.
-
Click OK to accept the selection and to close
the dialog box.
-
From the main menu bar, select
; or use the
tool from the toolbox.
Abaqus/CAE
steps through each available frame of the second step. The state block
indicates the current step and increment throughout the animation. After the
last increment of this step is reached, the animation process repeats itself.
-
You can customize the deformed shape plot while the animation is
running.
-
Display the Common Plot Options dialog box.
-
Choose Uniform from the
field.
-
Enter
15.0 as the deformation
scale factor value.
-
Click Apply to apply your change.
Abaqus/CAE
now steps through the frames in the second step with a deformation scale factor
of 15.0 .
-
Choose Auto-compute from the
field.
-
Click OK to apply your change and to close
the Common Plot Options dialog box.
Abaqus/CAE
now steps through the frames in the second step with a default deformation
scale factor of 0.8 .
