Making Animation at ABAQUS with multistep

[emrecan88]

Can anyone familiar with Abaqus animations? I have a multistep simulation and in each step I want to show different elements and then get the movie of this. For example lets say I have 1:100 elements: at first step I just want to see 1:50 elements at second step 1:51 elements third 1:52 and continuing like that. How can I get this animation at Abaqus. Is there a commond to do is at the input file? Or how is possible at ODB?



Best Thanks for your help

I don't think you can change the displayed elements during an animation.

You could write a script that will update your displayed elements and then output a PNG file at every step. Then you could use some external software to combine the PNG images into an animation... Just a thought...
