Rotate domain /camera in CFX Post with time
 
Hi,

is it possible to rotate the entire domain or the camera in cfx Post with the time value in order to visualize the transient rotation of the domain in an animation?
So what I want is that the rotation angle of the domain or the camera changes with time.

I tried this one:

VIEW:View 1
Camera Mode = User Specified
CAMERA:
Option = Pivot Point and Rotation
Pivot Point = 0, 0, 0
Rotation = 0, 0, 90
Send To Viewer = True
END

but I can not insert the time value.

You will probably need to do this using a session file script. Load the time step, move the camera a small angle, load the next time step etc.

The easiest way to start with session files is to record one doing what you want and then edit it using a text editor to do the full routine.
