Steady State Dynamic State Visualization of results

General Questions
1

First of all, I want to say that I’ve been using Prepomax 2 months ago and I am very happy with it. It is as easy to uses as a FEM SW can be and quite flexible, too.

To the point. Complex displacemet results from steady state dynamic state are made up of a real part and complex part. The only way I have found to represent that movement is to select Complex= Angle and loop manually from 0 to 360º taking pictures to make a video. That is quite annoying.
May be there is another way but I haven’t found it.
The rest of automatic animations loop from their maximum in a way from 0 to 180 representing 1/2 cycle, may be because they are limited to positive values.
The same problem arises when trying to represent the complex modes fom *Complex Frequency.
Thahk you for your attention and congratulations for such a good program.
Best regards

Did you try the harmonic animation type ?

Since it is not a bug I am moving this topic to General questions.

SOLVED:
I haven’t had tried till this morning because it was grayed out. I found that you can use Harmonic animation only when COMPLEX=REAL is selected in the tool bar
When I tried this kind of animation this morning it has worked as a champ.
I appreciate your quick answer and help.
