Notes

ancntr involves a Mechanical APDL macro which produces an animation of a contoured deformed shape of the last plot action command. This command operates only on graphic display platforms supporting the seg command. After executing ancntr, you can replay the animated sequence by issuing the anim command.

The command functions only in the postprocessor.
