Storing animations of pathlines &particle tracks
 

Hi there, do you know if it's possible to store the animations (as video format) of particle trackings and path lines?. I need it for a presentation, so it need to be portable, in a video format. Any comments are welcome. Many thanks,

Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo

I have tried the same earlier with no success. I tried to store the particle track (automatic saving after each timestep). No idea why I was never successful. Then I followed a simple method: 1. Set your grid display to required view. 2. Save load data file and display particle track. 3. Save hardcopy with suitable file-name-series. 4. Load other data files without disturbing the view and save hardcopies. 5. In Microsoft Powerpoint (or any other presentation package that you use), simply paste these hardcopy files by Crtl+V on seperate slides. 6. Set suitable slide transition delay.

Link this customized animation file to your main presentation file.

Though it is very simple looking, is very effective method with little :) extra trouble.

Thanks Prasad!...I actually found a program that records directlly from your active window in the PC screen...I finally used this software in my ppt with excellent results (http://www.bakker.org/cfm/graphics08.htm)..., so if you need to make a presentation, use it!.

Cheers,

Hi Sam,

The software is located here: http://www.bakker.org/cfm/graphics08.htm, and it's called HyperCam 2. The explanations on how to use it are in the web site.
