Hello. How can i get my simulation to create more "Frames" for the replay? On the attached image, you can see that the animation has only 8 points for the replay frames. What parameter will get a more smooth and slow motion like replay?

To add more frames in the animation, DistributedMode in the Animation Toolbar can be used. For Transient Analysis, the frames in DistributedMode are distributed over a time range selected in the graph.
For detailed information on the Animation of results, please refer to the following link:

In Explicit Dynamics, I always go to the Analysis Settings and in the Output Controls category, there is a line highlighted below that is Result Number of Points. The default is 20, which is way too few. I always bump it up to 200 if I know the End Time is a good estimate. If I don't know a good End Time, I use 2000 so that if a lot happens in the first few frames, get to see that and on the next run, I can reduce the end time and the number of point to 200.

Thank you so much, thats exactly what i wanted to know!
