Problem with an Ansys animation that will NOT RUN externally to Ansys

[vinny31]

Hi

I am using Ansys Multi-Physics v11 on windows xp.
I saved a simple animation both as an *.avi and*.anim file format.
The animation depicts a simple ale/vof analysis of a droplet of fluid moving through a simple 2D pipe. Not very complicated
However neither animation will run externally to Ansys. They run fine in the Ansys animator itself.
I have tried every media player I can think of.
VLC, Windows media, QuickTime, divix, etc….
Can anyone suggest anything or some way of capturing the on screen animation?

Hello,

try this:

1) open and play the animation file (avi) in Ansys
2) Stop the animation by explicitly pressing STOP and then CLOSE
3) Open the animation file with your windows player

I hope it helps!

Alex
