Mechanical APDL Basic Analysis Guide

To replay your animation, use the Playback option, which starts Media Player.

Note

If you are doing animation from an AVI type program on an ANSYS animation file, make sure

that the graphics window size of the AVI setting is set to "Original Size." To check the setting

for window size, click on the AVI icon and click on SETTINGS. You can change the window

size here, if necessary.

17.6.3. Other Uses for AVI Files

While you are in Media Player, you can use Media Player's OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) to export
your ANSYS animation to other applications. You do this through the "Copy" option under the Edit
Menu. Then, you can embed the animation in another OLE-compliant application. For example, you
can embed ANSYS animation objects in Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel.

Once an object is embedded on an application, you can just double-click on the object to start playing
back your ANSYS animation sequence. To share your compound document with others, give them the
Jobname.AVI file you created in ANSYS or DISPLAY plus a copy of the file containing the embedded
animation sequence.
