Notes

ANDYNA involves a Mechanical APDL macro which produces an animation of contour values through all the substeps of the last plot action command. This command operates only on graphic display platforms supporting the /SEG command. After executing ANDYNA, you can replay the animated sequence by issuing ANIM.

The command functions only in the postprocessor.
