      The solution animation playback .cxa file can be modified if the solution animation becomes corrupt. Consider the scenario where you have .hsf files from 4-9. If you modify the .cxa as shown below and load it into Fluent, the animation will not be displayed. This is because the Frame number doesn’t start at 0.
