***************************** Transient mechanical animator ***************************** Shows and animates the transient result. ============ Figure panel ============ .. image:: media/Figure_GUI.png :alt: Figure viewer :scale: 50 % The panel can be used to customize the figure. ====== ============================================== Number Function ====== ============================================== 1 Reset the figure to the default view 2 Undo the configuration step 3 Redo the configuration step 4 Move the region shown in the figure 5 Zoom 6 Define the general layout of the figure 7 Change the style of display of the output data 8 Save the figure ====== ============================================== ============= Figure window ============= Shows the selected outputs. ==== Time ==== Select the current time step. The animation will show the deformation at this time step. ============= Show 3D scene ============= Open a new window where the modes are animated. =============== Start animation =============== Start the animation of the selected mode. ============== Stop animation ============== Stop the animation of the selected mode. ========== Reset view ========== Reset the view of the animation figure. ==================== Component visibility ==================== Select the components that are shown in the animation window. ================== Format description ================== Change the description in the animation figure. The default description is given in the following table. Manual values can also be added. ============ ============================================================= Variable Description ============ ============================================================= #simres_name Display the name of the simulation result #eval_name Display the name of the evaluation #viewer_name Display the name of the viewer #time Display the current simulation time #scaling Display the scaling (Only if no setpoints are defined) #scaling Display the error scaling (Only if setpoints are defined) #setpoint Display the setpoint scaling (Only if setpoints are defined) ============ ============================================================= ======= Outputs ======= Select the output links that should be displayed. ------------------------- Configure selected output ------------------------- Configure the selected output. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Output type ^^^^^^^^^^^ Select the type of the output. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Selected entity ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Select the link that should be displayed. ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Selected DOF ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Select the degree of freedom that should be displayed. ^^^^^^^ Scaling ^^^^^^^ Scale the outputs. ^^^^^ Label ^^^^^ Define a specific label to the output. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Line configuration ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Change the color, line style and line width of the line in the figure. ---------- Add output ---------- Add an output to the result output container. =============== 3D Plot outputs =============== Select the link of which the transient deformation should be tracked by a black line. ============== Export outputs ============== Export the outputs to a matlab readable .mat file. ================ Export animation ================ Export the animation in to a movie. --------------- Start rendering --------------- Start the rendering of the movie. ------------- End rendering ------------- End the rendering of the movie. -------- Filename -------- Define the saving location and the filename of the movie. --- FPS --- Define the number of frames per second. -------- Duration -------- Define the duration of the movie. ----------- Max/Min val ----------- Define the start and end time of the simulation. --------- Start val --------- Define the start time of the simulation. ----------------- Clip height/width ----------------- Define the size of the movie window. --------------------- Export plot animation --------------------- Tick if in the figure should also be exported into an animation, in addition to the animation of the deformation. --------------- Animation delay --------------- Interval in milliseconds between two frames. ---------- Fileformat ---------- Define the format of the movie. The possible formats are mp4, avi and gif. ------------ Actual value ------------ Shows the progress of the movie rendering. ========= Start/End ========= Define the start and end time of the transient analysis. ================= Number of samples ================= Define the number of steps between start and end time for the animation. =============== Animation delay =============== Interval in milliseconds between two frames. ============ Actual value ============ Define the progress of the animation with a value between start and end time. ============== Scaling factor ============== Scale the deformation of the animation. ==================== Error scaling factor ==================== Scale the error between controller setpoint and actual value. Only visible if controller setpoints are defined. ================ Setpoint scaling ================ Scale the controller setpoint. Only visible if controller setpoints are defined. ============ Context menu ============ --------- Duplicate --------- uplicate the viewer. ------ Delete ------ Delete the viewer. ------------ Move up/down ------------ Move the viewer up or down in the evaluation.
