*DeformedModal()

Applies a magnification factor to displacement results in the modal animation mode.

Syntax

*DeformedModal (Model_index, SimulationStep, Linear/Modal, InterpSteps, ScaleFactor/ModelPCT, Scale)

Application

HyperView

Inputs

Model_index: The model to which the statement applies.
SimulationStep: The result step being animated.
Linear/Modal: The method used for animation.; If using Linear, the model is animated from being undisplaced to maximum displacement.; If using Modal, the model is animated from maximum displacement to -1 times the maximum displacement.
InterpSteps: Number of animation steps to use. Using more steps results in slower, but smoother, animation.
ScaleFactor/ModelPCT: The method used to modify the deformed shape.
Scale: Magnification factor for displacements.

Context

*BeginGraphic()

Example

*BeginGraphic()
• • •
    *DeformedOptions(FeaturesEdges, 63)
    *DeformedModal(0, 5, Linear, 22, ScaleFactor, 3)
• • •
*EndGraphic()

Comments

A *DeformedTransient() or *DeformedModal() statement is written for every model that has results. Values saved in thissession statement appear on the deformed panel in the animation window.
