Creating Animations

An animated plot is a series of frames that displays a field, mesh, or geometry at varying variable values. To create an animated plot, specify the variable values of the plot that you want to include. Each plot associated with a variable value is a frame in the animation. You specify how many frames to include in the animation.

Note: Each animation frame requires memory for storage which depends upon the mesh size and type of plot. Memory usage may become very large during plot animations. To reduce memory usage, specify the minimum number of frames possible. See General Options for more information.

You can export the animation to animated Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), to Audio Video Interleave (AVI) format, or to WebM format.
