13.2. Animation

CFD-Post can produce animations of the following types:

  • Sweep Animation, which is a means to automatically sweep objects across their defined range.

  • Timestep Animation, in which the animation is created by stepping through available timesteps.

  • GPU Accelerated Animation, in which the animation is automatically animated through time using graphics hardware.

  • Keyframe Animation, in which you define the start and end points of each section of animation using keyframes, then link these end points together by having CFD-Post create a number of intermediate frames.

Selecting Tools > Animation produces the Animation dialog box, where you can choose the type of animation you want.
