About Animation

You can animate the simulation results using an animation player.

The animation player appears after a successful simulation. The player lets you animate:

  • The simulated results using a moving marker on a variable series in the plots.
  • The state of the model diagram if it has animation capabilities.
  • The variable values in the free text area of the cockpit.
