welcome to a quick tutorial on changes
to the animation capabilities and tech
blog 360 2011 are one very quickly what
we're looking at here is an unsteady
solution of vortex shedding off of the
cylinder just have a simple slice here
and let's go ahead and play through what
we're looking at now one thing to point
out is that we've increased the speed of
tech plot when it comes to one study
results so that you can actually animate
through very quickly as you can see in
this case the solution itself we're
looking at vorticity magnitude in
principle if we chose to look at
something like pressure we can do that
as well
in addition we could we've speeded up
stream trace placement so in this case
we're looking at a series of stream
traces and if we then again go through
the animation it's going to make the
calculation of the stream traces on the
fly and you can see it's it's pretty
quick the first time of course one that
makes the calculation going through this
again would be a lot faster so I'll
press pause on that go back just to give
you an indication you can see there you
go once once the calculations are made
when it comes to export capabilities we
have changed
what's available in principle we used to
support just flash na VI which we still
support however we've asked the are out
of the flv format the mpeg-4 format
restaurant metafile we've had and the
windows media meetup mediate media video
sorry
so these are all new capabilities
I tend to like the windows media video
as it's quite compatible with things
like PowerPoint you'll notice that
generating the animations is the same in
principle we can do this with
anti-aliasing will look at se well 15
frames a second and we'll go ahead and
and generate this file and i'll put it
out on the desktop so that we can look
at that and again one of the things that
we've done in the past and we continue
to do is the rendering is done
off-screen therefore
we don't have to update anything as
we're going through which means that we
can dump these animations out a little
more rapidly how the animations are
being created right now what it's doing
is generating all the images once it has
the images together it will concatenate
them together and put them out into the
file so the progress bar doesn't look
like it's moving but that typically
isn't a typical so okay you can see it's
just about done kind of move very
quickly here and once the images are put
together and we'll dump out the image we
can actually take a look at that
animation video
okay so it looks like it's done and if
we pop into the desktop here we can find
that video and i'll just quickly look at
that now i'll bring it into focus here
so you can see it and there's our are
simple image showing the animation and
that's some of the new capabilities for
recording animations and tech blog 360
2011 are one
