Prevent looping in animation

ansys_matt · September 5, 2014, 12:41

Does anyone know of a way to use cfd-post for writing an animation movie of fluent data without looping? The quick animation box will let me select the number of loops, unless I want it to loop zero times.

I want the movie to start at timestep 1 and stop at the last timestep. I can't imagine why this wouldn't be allowed, it seems like this behavior would be the default!!

Strange that this is not possible.

Do you guys use a movie editor to fix the videos you make so they only play from the first timestep to the last? Which editor do you recommend?

Thanks

You can export data into tecplot and animate...i used to do this with c codes but i believe it should work with results ansys as well..good luck!

Not sure If I really understand the problem.
If you untick the "infinity" button you can enter any number of loops you want.
Choosing 1 does what you described: an animation that starts from the first time step and ends with the last one.
