With this window a little bit of automatization has been done to create animations inside GiD. Nowadays, almost all results visualizations are animated. Only stream-lines are not automatized along all the steps of the current analysis.
Some animations can be done with combined results visualization, from the same or different analisisanalysis, for instance an isosurface animation from OLS result of ODDLS analysis with a contour fill of Pressure of the RANSOL analysis can also be done with this window. The only constraint is that the number of steps and the step values should be the same in both analysis.

- All step animation: The animation will render the result along all time steps.
- Single step : If there are multiple time steps, then we can choose to do a single step animation for a given time step number. If the project has only one step or the user has choosen chosen to do a single step animation, it is possible to simulate an animation by generating intermediate steps. Use this option to automatically generate several frames, following a lineal, cosine, triangular or sinusoidal interpolation between the normal state and the deformed state.

- Automatic Limits: GiD searches for the minimum and maximum values of the results along all the steps of the analysis and uses them to draw the results view through all the steps. Previously, it needs to visualize some resutlsresults.
- Deformation: Permits to record animation with a specific deformation.
- Endless: The animation continues indefinatelyindefinitely.
- From step I to step K: Allows the user to do an animation between step number I and setp step number J , both included. This is also useful to skip the first step of an animation of a deformed mesh with a result visualization, which is the original state of the mesh, without deformation and without the result visualization.
- View centered and following node : select a 'moving' node and the view will be centered on this node during the animation.
- Simple model animation: together with the result animation the model will be animated too with one of the selected animations: Rotate (model) ; Zoom-In and then Rotate (model) ; Zoom-in and rotate and zoom-out. Each one of them can be configured. Like the "Zoom-in and rotate and zoom-out" window:
Duration:
- Total time: Specfies Specifies the duration of the clip.
- Delay: Specify a delay time between steps in milliseconds.
- Use step values as seconds: The number of step will be used to the duration of the clip.
...
- Create a stereoscopic animation: Permits to create a stereoscopic animation which for each frame the left eye view and the right view are saved, i.e. efectively effectively doubling the width of the frames. Special software video players, and hardware, are needed to view this animation correctly. Only AVI format is supported at the time.
- Default: This comobobox combobox permits to choose the resolution of the clip.
