The Window-->Animate window allows a more complet control of all animation options of the current visualized result.


If only one step is present (or if the model has been deformed using a result's vector), then the static animation options are enabled, so that a custom animation profile can be set up to animate that one (deformation) step.



If one result has several steps you can visualize them in an animation. In this case we will use the iso surfaces result.

  • Select View->Render->Smooth
  • Select Window->Animate...to open the animation window


Please notice that we have from step 1 to 13. We will do the animation only of some of these steps.

  • Check the From step option and set 3 to step 8
  • Try it clicking on the play icon


We will record a video during the animation.

  • Once the animation is finished check the Save option on the Save animation part


You can choose from several video formats.

  • Select Delay between steps and enter the value 1000 ms.
  • Click on the play button and the recording will begin. This step could take a little bit long. Wait until the red circle turns to green
