Size matters
Regardless of how videos are processed, they are rather data intensive, and it is a really good idea to plan
the recording well. Depending a little on the image format, the size of the frames you are saving is
proportional to the area of the Model View. This means that it is more rational (and usually gives a better
result) to resize the shape of the Model View to the animation you want in the end, than it is to change the
size or crop the video afterwards.
The next lesson deals with the two different Chart Views for investigating analysis results.
Lesson 4: The Chart Views
The AnyBody Modeling System has two different window types for graphing results:
The ChartFX View and the AnyChart View. The former gives you a large gallery of different graph types to
choose from and has useful features for interfacing with other windows applications such as the option to
copy data on many different formats. However, this view is restricted to two-dimensional graphs.
The AnyChart View gives you the opportunity to make three-dimensional surface plots. It is based on the
AnyScript drawing object class also called AnyChart and this reuse of functionality allows you to make
identic charts in the AnyChart View and inside the model scene, i.e., in Model View. AnyChart is still a fairly
simple chart option, but its functionlity is being extended in future version of AnyBody.
The ChartFX View
Do you still have the demo.Arm2D.any model loaded? If not, try loading it in and we'll play a little with it
and see how results can be investigated.
Please load the model and run the ArmStudy.InverseDynamicAnalysis. Then open a ChartFX View by clicking
Window -> ChartFX (new). You will get a window like this:
