Model result data

Chooses the results data type to be used for the animation sequence.

  • Result Set Range

Range Minimum, Maximum

The minimum and maximum values of the range. If either value is left blank or 0, the respective value defaults to the first/last data point.

Increment result set

Value to define the increment between the result data.

If enabled, adds the last substep for each loadstep when displaying the graphics data.

Auto contour scaling

If enabled, automatically scales the contour values based on the overall subset range of values.

Animation time delay (sec)

Value representing the time delay during the animation.
