Current Animation Source

All shape animation is enabled by first assigning each M# in an Animation Source to the Point & direction (DOF) on the structure model where the measurement was made.

• During animation, each DOF of the structure model is animated by summing together data from each M# in the current Animation Source Any Data Block, Shape Table, or Acquisition window that is open in the Work Area is an Animation Source. The currently connected Animation Source is displayed in the Animation Source list on the Toolbar in the Structure window. During animation, data from each M# in the current Animation Source is animated using the Animation equations for each Point on the structure model..

NOTE:  Any Data Block, Shape Table, or Acquisition window can be an Animation Source.

• Each Measured Point & direction is animated using data from the Source where a measurement was made.

• Each Interpolated Point & direction is animated using data from nearby Measured Points & directions

• All Fixed Points & directions will not move during animation

Current Animation Source

During shape animation, data from the current Animation Source is used to display shapes in animation on the structure model.

• The current Animation Source is displayed in the Animation Source list on the Structure window Toolbar.

• Press the Animate | Show Animation Source tool next to the Animation Source list (as shown below) to display the BLK: Plate 30 FRFs window
