Field Picture Animation
When the analysis results depend on time (transient and time-harmonic problems), QuickField can present animated field pictures. To start animation, choose View / Animation or click the corresponding toolbar button:
During the animation, two speed control buttons appear on the toolbar.
The moment of time or the phase on the toolbar changes synchronously with the picture.
During the first loop, QuickField accumulates the animation frames in memory. Depending on the size of the problem, this can take considerable time, and the speed control has no effect.
Animation stops automatically upon any user action that changes the contents or the scaling of the field picture.
Note: even though the problem results can be stored with varying time steps, the animation shows the frames in equal time intervals.
