Hi,
Thanks for contacting us. The following Python script helps to export an animation from the evolution of Total Deformation throughout the simulation from a specific view (ISO in this case) with the specified frame numbers and video duration in Ansys Mechanical.
########################################################
cam = Graphics.Camera
cam.SetSpecificViewOrientation(ViewOrientationType.Iso)
Graphics.ResultAnimationOptions.NumberOfFrames = 100
Graphics.ResultAnimationOptions.Duration = Quantity(2, ‘s’)
totalDeform = DataModel.GetObjectsByName(“Total Deformation”)[0]
totalDeform.ExportAnimation(“C:\\Users\\pesamadi\\Downloads\\test\\test.mp4”,GraphicsAnimationExportFormat.MP4)
######################################################
I will ask the developers about the required commands to specify the start and end times of the animation and then update my respond.
Thanks,
Pedram
