Notes

ANMODE invokes a Mechanical APDL macro which produces an animation of mode shape of the last plot action command (for example, PLDISP). The ANMODE command operates only on graphic display platforms supporting the /SEG command. After executing ANMODE, you can replay the animated sequence by issuing the ANIM command.

This command functions only in the postprocessor.
