Mechanical APDL Basic Analysis Guide

Also, the animation settings window associated with the animation type you selected (for ex-

ample,Animate Mode Shape or Animate Deformed Shape) appears.

5. Modify the animation settings or accept the default settings, then click on the OK button.

Result:The report generat or saves the animation sequence.

19.3.2. Batch

The following line must appear near the beginning of your batch code before any report commands:

~eui,'package require ansys'

To capture an animation sequence via a batch run via a batch run, insert this report command at the
point in the run where you want to capture an animation:

~eui,'ansys::report::animcapture "caption"'

Follow the report command with an ANSYS animation command (for example,ANTIME or ANDATA).

19.4. Capturing a Data Table

This section describes how to capture and store a data table, either interactively or within a batch run.

The report generat or appends captured table data to ansysTables.js, a file in your specified report
directory containing the JavaScript functions for accessing your table data. ( The file contains code to
generate HTML as well as comments that hold the table information in a tab-delimited form, allowing
you to paste the table data into software other than an HTML document.) The report generat or assigns
the name table_n to each captured table, where n is a sequential numeric identifier beginning at 1
and incrementing as you capture additional tables.

19.4.1. Interactive

Follow these steps to capture a data table using the report generat or GUI:

1. Click on the Table Capture button.

Result:The Table Capture dialog appears.

2. Specify a caption for the captured table (for example, “Prism Material Properties Table").

The caption can contain APDL parameters in the format %parm%. (Specify “%%” if you want to

display the “%” character in your caption.)

3. Select a predefined table type from the list. (The report generat or filters the list of available table types
   based on the current analysis.)

If you select the “Material properties” table type, specify the currently defined materials via the

Material Selection field.

Note

ANSYS does not display a material property which has no value associated with it.
