Mapdl.anmode(nfram='', delay='', ncycl='', kaccel='', **kwargs)#

Mechanical APDL Command: ANMODE

Parameters:
nframstr

Number of frames captures (defaults to 5).

Time delay during animation (defaults to 0.1 seconds).

ncyclstr

Number of animation cycles (defaults to 5). Available in non-UI mode only.

kaccelint or str

Notes

anmode invokes a Mechanical APDL macro which produces an animation of mode shape of the last plot action command (for example, pldisp ). The anmode command operates only on graphic display platforms supporting the seg command. After executing anmode, you can replay the animated sequence by issuing the anim command.

This command functions only in the postprocessor.
