Problem with an Ansys animation that will NOT RUN externally to Ansys

Problem with an Ansys animation that will NOT RUN externally to Ansys

Problem with an Ansys animation that will NOT RUN externally to Ansys

(OP)

Hi

I am using Ansys Multi-Physics v11 on windows xp.
I saved a simple animation both as an *.avi and*.anim file format.
The animation depicts a simple ale/vof analysis of a droplet of fluid moving through a simple 2D pipe. Not very complicated
However neither animation will run externally to Ansys. They run fine in the Ansys animator itself.
I have tried every media player I can think of.
VLC, Windows media, QuickTime, divix, etc….
Can anyone suggest anything or some way of capturing the on screen animation?

RE: Problem with an Ansys animation that will NOT RUN externally to Ansys

Hello,

try this:

1) open and play the animation file (avi) in Ansys
2) Stop the animation by explicitly pressing STOP and then CLOSE
3) Open the animation file with your windows player

I hope it helps!

Alex
