Comparing Animations
Comparing animations helps you make important decisions about your model or models. One of the most common reasons you compare animations is to help you determine which of several models shows the most desirable behavior pattern for the quantity, mode, and so forth.
You can also compare animations of the same model to:
• Learn how the animated shapes compare with the original model shape. Use the View > Overlay toggle to superimpose a wireframe of the original model over the animation of the model. The Overlay command is only available for unfringed animations.
• Learn how the model behaves for different analysis conditions. In this case, you animate the same model using different load sets, constraint sets, or analysis types to get a better idea of overall reaction to multiple environments.
• Learn how the model behaves for different modes. This shows you which modes are likely to be a problem and how a quantity distributes at the same stage for different modes. To learn more, see Example: Comparing Mode Animations for the Same Model.
• Learn how the model behaves at different stages of the animation. This shows you how a quantity distributes at different times or how resonance behaves over time. To learn more, see Example: Comparing Animation Stages for the Same Model.
