Timestep range set for animation export

    • sohanur.rahman

      Hello,

      I am trying to export animation of a specific result(e.g., Total Deformation) in Ansys Mechanical using a python script. I am getting the result animation for the whole range of timestep (e.g., 0 to 18 sec). However, I want to select the timestep range(e.g., 4 to 18 sec) for the exported animation in my script . Is there any way to do this in the python script?

      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
