Notes

ANCUT involves a Mechanical APDL macro which produces an animation of Q-slices of the last plot action command. This command operates only on graphic display platforms supporting the /SEG command. After executing ANCUT, you can replay the animated sequence by issuing the ANIM command.

The command functions only in the postprocessor.
